Iran: Detained Protester Milad Zohrehvand Executed, According to Human Rights Orgs

-

Some human rights media outlets have reported the “secret execution” of Milad Zohrehvand, one of the detainees of the nationwide protests in Iran in 2022, who was held in the central prison of Hamedan.

The first announcement came from the human rights organization “Hengaw,” based in Norway, stating that Mr. Zohrehvand, who was arrested in the city of Malayer (west central Iran), was executed on Thursday, November 23, on charges of killing a security force member of the Iranian regime.

Milad Zohrehvand’s relatives have stated, “Today they informed Milad’s family about his execution, but they did not hand over the body. His family had no knowledge of the execution, and they were not informed about the final visit either.”

The AFP news agency also wrote that with the execution of this prisoner, it is the eighth case of the execution of detained protesters in Iran since the death of Mahsa Amini in September last year.

The death sentence of 21-year-old Milad Zohrehvand, a resident of Malayer, was carried out based on a fabricated scenario of killing a security force member named Ali Nazari.

Zohrehvand had not received any prior information about his imminent execution and was also denied a final meeting with his family.

The execution of Mr. Zohrehvand has not been reported by the Iranian media or judicial authorities.

One of Zohrehvand’s family members said that the execution of this prisoner took place “about 10 days after his sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court.”

Ali Nazari was an intelligence officer of the IRGC in Malayer who was killed during the nationwide protests in October 2022, and judicial authorities attributed his murder to Milad Zohrehvand.

The death sentence for Milad was issued and confirmed in the judicial system of Hamedan, but there is not much information available about his case’s details.

According to published reports, this defendant has been deprived of having a lawyer.

Earlier, the execution of other Iranian protesters led to a wave of domestic and international condemnations.

Amnesty International has stated that the Iranian regime’s goal is to send a message to the world and the people of Iran that it will not refrain from any measures to suppress and punish its opponents.

According to Iranian dissident group NCRI, the Iranian regime brutally suppressed the recent nationwide protests in Iran, and approximately 750 protesters were killed by security forces.
