Hengaw: Saturday, November 4, 2023

The death sentences of two Baloch brothers identified as Saied Alizehi and Esmaiel Alizehi have been covertly executed in Zahedan Central Prison without any identity documentation. These two prisoners were convicted of drug-related crimes.

According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on Saturday, November 4, the death penalty of two Baloch residents of Zabol, Sistan-Balouchestan province, identified as Saied, 25 years old, and Esmaiel Alizehi, 29 years old, and the father of two children, was carried out in Zahedan Central Prison.

According to the Haalvsh news website, these two prisoners were taken into custody two years ago for drug-related crimes and later condemned to the death penalty by the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The execution of these two prisoners was carried out covertly, without notifying their families or exercising their right of last visit.

It’s important to note that neither of these two Baloch individuals possessed Iranian citizenship or any form of identity documentation.

There has not been any news coverage on these executions until the release of this news, particularly in government media outlets and those that are affiliated with the judicial system of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
