Hemin Mostafaei, a Kurdish prisoner from Marivan who is sentenced to death and is currently imprisoned in Sanandaj Central Prison, has been transferred to solitary confinement in this prison to get hanged despite the opposition of the plaintiffs.

 

According to the report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Monday, June 19, 2023, Hemin Mostafaei, a Kurdish prisoner from the "Kani Dinar" village in Marivan, who is sentenced to death was transferred to the solitary confinement of Sanandaj Central Prison to get executed. 
 

 

Hengaw has been informed that the execution of Hemin Mostafaei will be carried out on Wednesday, June 21, in Sanandaj Central Prison.
 

According to sources familiar with Hemin Mostafaei’s case, the plaintiff in this case, who is the family of Ibrahim Mohammadi, a member of the IRGC who was killed in Marivan, has expressed their opposition to the execution of this citizen. However, the Iranian government institutions insist on executing this prisoner.
 

Earlier in a report, while referring to the severe torture of Hemin Mostafaei after the protests in Sanandaj prison in September 2022, Hengaw reported that Hemin Mostafaei has been "threatened to get executed" by the Prosecutor General of Kurdistan Province in his tenth year of imprisonment.
 

Hemin Mostafaei was arrested on March 1, 2013, on the charge of murdering a former member of the IRGC, named Ebrahim Mohammadi, in Marivan, and during the interrogation, he was forced to admit to the murder of this IRGC member under torture.
 
This prisoner was later sentenced to 4 years in prison by the Sanandaj Criminal Court on the charge of intentional murder and on the charge of possessing a weapon. It should be noted that the Iranian security institutions in Sanandaj wanted to open a case against Hemin Mostafaei on the charge of “moharebeh” (waging War Against God), but this charge was rejected by the Supreme Court due to the lack of necessary documents and evidence.

 
Also, in June 2017, he was transferred to solitary confinement at Sanandaj Central Prison for some time, and finally, after people protested in front of the prison and with the consent of the plaintiff, his execution was stopped.
 
Hemin Mostafaei was a member of one of the Kurdistan opposition parties for some time before his arrest and during this case, three other citizens named Bayan Kakekhani, Hiwa Dadafrin, and Khalil Shirzadi were arrested on the charge of participating in the murder of Ebrahim Mohammadi, whose forced confessions were titled " The subject of death" was published on 9 December 30, 2013, on the Press TV channel affiliated with the Iranian security institutions.
