Quoting the Prosecutor of Mashhad, the Iranian newspaper âQudsâ wrote that the man was identified as âNader Haghighat Naseriâ, also known as âSaeedâ. He was member of an armed group involved in several episodes of armed robbery, said the report. He was convicted of Moharebeh (waging war against God) and sentenced to death by Revolution Court in Mashhad.
The execution was carried out at the âResalat Squareâ of Mashhad in front of several hundred people. The prisoner showed the victory sign before the execution.
Due to the lack of transparency, unfair trials and sue of torture under interrogations, it i difficult to confirm that the charges used against Mr. Naseri are real. (Sources: Iran Human Rights, 09/11/2014)
