An informed source told Iran Human Rights: “Fakhredin Valedi went to the gallows from Ward 3 of the prison. He was arrested four years ago and sentenced to death. He was a plasterer prior to his arrest.”
“Hossein Joshan had been arrested around five years ago and sentenced to death. Hossein had denied carrying the drugs in court. He denied the charges and said they belonged to someone else who had escaped after Hossein was arrested. They found 100 kilograms of methamphetamines at his house, which he said someone had asked him to keep and they were going to pick it up. But they found the drugs and Hossein received the death penalty,” the informed source added.
