Iran Human Rights (IHR); Sep 8, 2018:
Iranian Kurdish political prisoner Ramin Hossein Panahi was executed this
morning at Rajai Shahr prison in Karaj.
IHR had earlier warned against the
imminent danger and called on international community to do their best to
prevent his execution. On September 7, Javaid Rehman, Special
Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran,
and Agnes Callamard, Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary
executions, have appealed to Iran to halt the imminent executions of Ramin and
two other Iranian Kurd political prisoners, Zanyar Moradi and Loghman Moradi.
IHR strongly condemns Ramin’s execution. Mahmood
Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of IHR, had previously warned against their
execution and said: "Zanyar Moradi, Loghman Moradi, and Ramin Hossein
Panahi were all subjected to torture and sentenced to death following unfair
trials. Their death sentences are illegal even according to the international
and even the Iranian laws."
There is no credible information on whether the execution
of Loghman and Zanyar were also carried out this morning. IHR will update the
readers on this issue.
