Abdollahzadeh execution followed torture-tainted confession, rights group says
Mehrab Abdollahzadeh, a Kurdish protester from the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, was executed after a deeply unfair trial based on forced confessions obtained under torture, Iran Human Rights said on Sunday.
The Norway-based rights group warned that similar executions of political prisoners could continue in the future.
“An immediate halt to all executions and the suspension of the death penalty must be a central condition in any negotiations with the Islamic Republic,” it added.
