According to Baluchi Activists Campaigns and IHR’s independent confirmation, Abdolbaset Dahani was hanged at Zahedan prison, Sistan and Baluchestan province, on the morning of April 23, 2020.
Abdolbaset Dahani (25) was arrested four years ago in Saravan city and sentenced to death for “act against national security by waging war against God (moharebeh)” at branch 1 of Zahedan Revolutionary Court.
He has written a letter describing the torture he was subjected to, including flogging and burning. According to the letter first published by HRANA, the security forces arrested and threatened Abdolbaset’s family members and forced him to confess against himself. He was sentenced to death based on the so-called confessions. Mr Dahani rejected all of the accusations afterwards.
