Iran Human Rights – At least ten prisoners, most of whom charged with murder, were transferred to solitary confinement at Rajai Shahr Prison.
According to a close source, on the morning of Sunday, February 4, at least ten prisoners were transferred to Rajai Shahr Prison. The prisoners, most of whom are sentenced to death on murder charges, will be executed if they fail to win the consent of the plaintiffs.
It should be noted that executions at Rajai Shahr are usually carried out on Wednesdays.
According to Iran Human Rights (IHR) annual report on the death penalty, 142 of the 530 execution sentences in 2016 were carried out for murder charges. There is a lack of any classification of murder by degree in Iran which results in issuing a death sentence for all types of the murder, regardless of intensity and intent.
