IRAN - Death sentence confirmed for Kurdish political prisoner Yousef Ahmadi
January 25, 2024: January 25, 2024 - Death sentence confirmed for Kurdish political prisoner Yousef (Yousuf) Ahmadi
Branch 39 of the Supreme Court has confirmed the death sentence for Kurdish political prisoner Yousef (Yousuf) Ahmadi, according to Kurdpa.
Currently incarcerated in Sanandaj Prison, Ahmadi was initially condemned for Baghi (armed rebellion) by the Sanandaj Revolutionary Court, presiding over by Judge Saeed, in September 2023.
In the same legal proceeding, co-defendants Mohammad Karimi, Baset Karimi, and Mohammad Feyzi were handed prison sentences of 25, 20, and 20 years, respectively. These individuals were first apprehended by security forces in April 2020 and later transferred to Sanandaj Prison after the completion of the interrogation process at a security detention facility.
One of Kurdpa’s sources revealed that collaboration with a Kurdish opposition party was cited during the trial as an example supporting this charge. However, specific details regarding their case and the actions underlying the charges remain undisclosed.
