The sentence of a prisoner named Akbar Farrokhi, who was sentenced to self-retribution (execution) on the charge of “intentional murder”, was performed in the central prison of Urmia.
According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, the death sentence of a man was performed in Urmia Central Prison on the morning of Wednesday November 8th, 2023.
This prisoner, whose identity has been confirmed as Akbar Farrokhi, from Urmia, was sentenced to self-retribution on the charge of “intentional murder”.
On Monday, November 6, Akbar Farrokhi was transferred to solitary confinement along with another prisoner who was sentenced to self-retribution on similar charges. The sentence of the second prisoner was suspended by obtaining a grace period or consenting to the dispute in the case, and he returned to his cell.
The execution of Akbar Farrokhi has not been announced by the Iranian media or official sources as of writing this news.
The lack of grading for intentional homicide in Iran causes any type of murder to result in a death sentence, regardless of the severity, weakness, and motivation of the accused.
