Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO) – Shouresh Moravati, a man on death row for moharebeh and murder charges, has been transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for his execution in Sanandaj Central Prison.
According to information obtained by Iran Human Rights, a man was transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for his execution in Sanandaj Central Prison on 14 August. His identity has been established as Shouresh Moravati who was sentenced to death for moharebeh (enmity against god) through armed robbery by the Revolutionary Court and qisas (retribution-in-kind) for murder by the Criminal Court.
An informed source told Iran Human Rights: “Souresh Moravati was from Saqqez and arrested for an armed robbery that led to a murder in 2009 and sentenced to qisas for murder. Shouresh was one of the prisoners who escaped during the Saqqez Prison unrest (due to prison authorities not taking measures against Covid-19) in the spring of 2020. He was transferred to Sanadaj Central Prison after being rearrested.”
“Souresh was subjected to months of torture in the Sanandaj intelligence detention centre, the signs of which are still visible on his body,” the source added.
His execution is scheduled to be carried out within days.
