Execution of two Baloch prisoners in Kahnouj Prison

At dawn today, Thursday, June 11, the death sentences of two Baloch prisoners were carried out in Kahnouj Prison.

"Ashkan Sohrabi", the 24-year-old son of Khosrow, married, and "Aria Parvizi", the 23-year-old son of Juma, are from "Zehkalut" in the "Jazmurian" area. They were arrested in late 2019 on drug-related charges near the "Bahadurabad" bridge in Kahnouj and sentenced to death.

According to Halash, the death sentences of these two Baloch prisoners were carried out at dawn today, Thursday, June 11. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is the largest drug mafia in the Middle East, has issued death sentences to drug-related defendants and has executed many of them on this charge.

It should be noted that after the start of the nationwide protests and the popular revolution, the number of citizens sentenced to death and their sentences being carried out has increased. From August 11 last year to now (June 11, 1402), at least 147 Baloch citizens have been executed in various prisons. Also, from May 29 of this year to June 11, 44 Baloch prisoners, two of whom were women, have been executed in 13 prisons in the country.

These successive executions by the Islamic Republic have aroused concern and reaction from human rights activists and organizations, to the extent that warnings have been issued to the regime by these organizations and by lawyers and attorneys.
