According to IHR sources, on the early morning of Sunday, October 6, Abdolhakim Shahbakhsh and Assadollah Alizehi were hanged for drug-related charges at the prison of the Iranian city of Kerman. “Asadollah Alizehi was a former political prisoner and activist. He was arrested for his activities before. However, the geography expert was under financial pressures and his path of life was changed. It is the case for people, even professionals and university graduates at the Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchistan,” Baluchi activist Habibollah Sarbazi told IHR.
