The death sentence of two prisoners from Urmia, Milad Jajuyi Khanik and Mohammad Ali Akhtari Kahlan, who were previously sentenced to death for "Muharebeh through armed robbery", was executed in the central prison of this city.

According to the report received by the Hengaw Human Rights Organization, the death sentence of two prisoners called Milad Jajuyi Khanik and Mohammad Ali Akhtari Kahlan was executed in Urmia Central Prison on Tuesday morning, February 14, 2023.

It should be mentioned that the two prisoners were transferred to solitary confinement on Sunday, February 12, to execute the death sentence.

The two citizens, along with another citizen called Milad Ghafarzadeh Qaragheshlaq, attacked a gold shop in Farhangian Street, Urmia, on September 18, 2018, stole 10 kilograms of gold and killed the shopkeeper called Jafar Dasti.

Later, Milad Ghafarzadeh Qaragheshlaq's sentence was canceled and changed to imprisonment by the Supreme Court, and the other two sentences were confirmed too.
