A Baloch activist executed in Khash city prison --- Death Sentence Issued for Female Kurdish Political Prisoner


Khash: Balochistan Human Rights activists Associations (Iranian occupied Balochistan) have reported that a 26 year old Baloch activist Mr Allah Nazar Baloch has been executed in the City of Khash prison here on Wednesday morning. The Baloch activist has been executed for an alleged murder case but no information about the victims (the alleged person that he murdered) has been reported on the media. It has also not been made public whether the alleged victim was a government of official or a member of the public.

Report on Political Prisoners Sentenced to Death in Baluchistan

The identities of six of political prisoners sentenced to death in the province Baluchistan have been announced by the Coalition of Human Rights Activists in this province.

There is no accurate information on the number and identities of the tens of Baluchi political prisoners in southeastern Iran. As a result of the tight grip maintained by Intelligence services on this region and the absence of civil rights institutions, this region is among a number of areas which is suffering from a lack of surveillance by human rights organizations.

There are no accurate statistics on the number of political prisoners who have been sentenced to die or are in the verge of being sentenced in this part of the country, but according to available information and claims made by authorities, a large number of prisoners charged with political- or intelligence-related offenses in this region have been sentenced to death.

The identities of six political prisoners who are sentenced to die are as follows:
1. Abdulrahman Narouei, son of Khaleghdad
2. Abeh-Gahram Zehi
3. Abdulhamid Riggi, son of Azad Riggi
4. Abduljalil Riggi, son of Jan-Mohammad
5. Naser Shah-Bakhsh
6. Mahmoud Riggi, son of Nazar

Most of the individuals stated above are being held in a detention center managed by the Ministry of Intelligence in the city of Zahedan, and the accused are being denied basic rights such as visitations with their family members and the right to hire a lawyer. The conditions of political prisoners in Baluchistan, in the absence of a civil rights movement and human rights advocates, are bleak.

Death Sentence Issued for Female Kurdish Political Prisoner

20 Kurdish Political Prisoners at Risk of Execution following Unfair Trials

Shirin Alam Holi

(21 January 2010) The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran expressed serious concern regarding the increasing number of death sentences issued for Kurdish political prisoners following unfair trails.

According to Kurdish human rights organizations, at least 20 political prisoners have been condemned to death. During the past few weeks, two Kurdish political prisoners, Ehsan Fattahian and Fasih Yasamini were executed, and there are credible fears of imminent executions of other political prisoners on death row.

“The Iranian Judiciary is moving fast to implement a wave of political executions, particularly of Kurdish activists. These sentences are politically motivated and the trials do not conform to internationally accepted standards of due process,” said Hadi Ghaemi, a spokesperson for the Campaign.

The latest death sentence has been issued for a female Kurdish prisoner, Shirin Alam Holi (28), by Branch 15 of Tehran’s Revolutionary Court presided by Judge Salevati. The Kurdistan Human Rights Organization reported that the trial was held on 19 December 2009, and the conviction was announced to her lawyer on 3 January 2010.
