The death sentences of Mohyeddin Abdollahi and Hossein Palani Jaf, two prisoners from Kermanshah, have been carried out, according to Mizan News Agency, which is affiliated with the judiciary of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The two men had been sentenced to death on charges of “baghy” (armed uprising against the state), and the judiciary’s media outlet referred to them as “religious-ideological prisoners.”
As of this report, no clear information has been made public regarding when they were arrested, how their case proceeded through the courts, the quality of the trial itself, whether they had access to a lawyer of their choosing, whether they were able to mount an effective defense, or any of the other basic guarantees of a fair trial. This absence of information makes it seriously difficult to independently assess whether fair trial standards were met and whether the proceedings complied with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s international obligations, particularly in cases carrying the death penalty, and it deepens concerns over whether the right to life and the right to a fair trial were genuinely respected here.
