Iranian Kurdish Political Prisoner, Ramin Hossein Panahi, Executed

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.

UPDATE: Fars, Semi-official Iranian News Agency, confirmed the execution of Loghman Moradi, Zanyar Moradi and Ramin Hossein Pahani.
