Milad Zohrevand, one of the detainees of the popular protests of Malayer city, who was previously sentenced to death by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has been transferred to the central prison of Hamedan, and there is a possibility that the death sentence of this political prisoner will be carried out.
According to the report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, during the last few days Milad Zohrevand, a 20-year-old political prisoner from Malayer City, was transferred from Malayer prison to Hamadan central prison.
According to an informed source close to Zohrevand's family, the Iranian security agencies have informed the family of this political prisoner that his death sentence will be carried out soon.
This political prisoner has been transferred to Hamedan prison today, Saturday, June 24, 2023, while the head of the Hamedan Justice Department, without mentioning the identity of this prisoner, has announced that he will be sentenced to death and that the case will be sent to the Supreme Court for confirmation.
Hengaw had reported earlier, quoting the relatives of the Zohrehvand family, that, although the family of Ali Nazari, the Iranian security guard who was killed during the protests in Malayer, has expressed their consent for a pardon, the IRGC has taken the family's representation with force and without the express consent of the family, they have demanded an immediate death sentence.
Milad Zohrevand was arrested on Thursday, October 27, 2022, during the public protests in Malayer City, by IRGC Forces along with five other citizens, and was later sentenced to death by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It is worth mentioning that Milad Zohrevand was deprived of the right to access a lawyer, face-to-face meetings with family, and other basic rights of inmates during the entire period of his detention, even according to the minimum laws of the Islamic Republic.
While condemning and expressing deep concern, Hengaw calls for the immediate attention of human rights organizations to the situation of Milad Zahrevand to prevent any action in implementing the death sentence of this political prisoner.
