Iran Executions: Prisoner Saved From Execution By A Sunni Cleric's Mediation

According to the office of Molana Gorgij, the Imam saved a young man, named Seyyed Hasan Hosseinipour, from the execution. The efforts which finally saved the man’s life had been started three years ago.
The young man is the second-row defendant. He committed an armed bank robbery with the help of another person in 2005 during which a Turkmen soldier named Mohammad Tatar was killed.
It should be noted that in a meeting held at Molana Gorgij’s home where the representatives of both parties were present, the late soldier’s brother, said that the reason for their forgiveness was God’s satisfaction and Molana Gorgij’s intervention.
Therefore, the number of the death-row prisoners who have been saved from death by Molana Gorgij has risen to 41.
According to a close source, Seyyed Hasan Hosseinipour is currently held at Rajai Shahr Prison waiting for his trial and official verdict.
