Afghan Citizen Executed In Iran

The Haalvsh Human Rights Organisation reported that the Islamic Republic of Iran has executed an Afghan prisoner in Mashhad's Vakilabad Public Prison.

The organisation said on Monday that the man's death sentence was carried out in secret without the knowledge of his family.

The Afghan prisoner was arrested in 2019 on drug-related charges, the Haalvsh Human Rights Organisation said in the statement.

The Afghan man has been identified as "Nesar Ahmad Rahmati" and had been transferred from the general ward to solitary confinement on Sunday.

No information has yet been released about the trial and prison conditions of these Afghans, and so far, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iranian state media have not commented on the execution.

On Sunday, the Iran Human Rights Organisation (IHR) announced the execution of 14 prisoners, including two Afghans, in Shiraz Central Prison.
