The death sentence of Meysam Chandani, a Baloch political prisoner convicted nearly twelve years
Hengaw: Saturday, November 11, 2023
The death sentence of Meysam Chandani, a Baloch political prisoner convicted nearly twelve years ago by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the charge of "waging war against God (Moharebeh)," was carried out in Zahedan Central Prison.
According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on the dawn of Saturday, November 11, 2023, the execution of Meysam Chandani, a political prisoner from Saravan, took place in Zahedan Central Prison. The political prisoner had been transferred to solitary confinement last Wednesday in preparation for the execution.
The Hengaw Organization strongly condemns the execution of Meysam Chandani, emphasizing that he was sentenced to death by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran in a process deemed completely non-transparent, unfair, and illegal.
According to Haalvsh, Meysam Chandani faced severe torture during his one-year detention at the Zahedan Intelligence Department's detention center, resulting in a coerced confession.
Meysam Chandani had previously received a death sentence on charges such as "action against national security," "membership in opposition groups of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Jundallah)," and "waging war against God through armed action."
He was arrested on August 28, 2011, during a raid conducted by Saravan Intelligence Department forces on his father's residence located in the Bakhshan area of this city.
