On December 5, 2024, Mahdi Hossein Zahi, a 25-year-old Baloch prisoner from Mehrstan, was executed at Zahedan Central Prison.
According to balochwarna.com, Mahdi was arrested in 2021 on charges of murder. He denied the accusation, claiming that he confessed to the crime based on a promise from the complainant that they would forgive him. However, the victim’s family refused to pardon him and demanded the execution of his sentence. Mahdi had been held in Saravan Prison for two years before being transferred to Zahedan Central Prison in 2023.
His family was granted a final meeting with him just 2 days before his execution, on December 3, 2024.
