The death sentence of five prisoners, including two Kurdish prisoners, named Azad Dadvand from Sardasht and Kaiwan Amini Tawakol from Baneh, was executed in Arak Central Prison on charges of drug-related crimes.
According to the report received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, at dawn on Wednesday, January 11, 2020, the death sentences of two Kurdish citizens, Azad Dadvand, 40, of Sardshat, and Kaiwan Amini Tawakeol, 42, of Baneh, were executed in Arak Central Prison.
Hengaw sources have reported that along with these two prisoners, three other prisoners have also been sentenced to death, whose identities have not been confirmed for Hengaw.
