A Baluch prisoner who had been sentenced to death on “drug-related” charges, has been executed at Zahedan Central Prison. According to Iran Human Rights, a male prisoner was executed in the early hours of Tuesday, January 19, in Zahedan Central Prison. The idenitity of the prisoner has been established as Anwar Ali-Zehi, who was sentenced to death on drug-related charges. According to an informed source of the Baluch Activists Campaign, “Anwar was forced to transfer drugs due to being unable to find a suitable job and poor living conditions and did not even have a criminal record prior to his arrest.” Anwar was arrested two years ago and had been kept behind bars during that time. At the time of writing, the execution of Anwar Ali-Zehi has not been reported by domestic media or officials in Iran.
