A Baloch prisoner executed in Iranshahr

Iranian Human Rights Society, quoted by Haalvsh. At dawn on Saturday, December 23, 2022, a Baloch prisoner was executed in Iranshahr. This prisoner’s name was Nizamuddin Burhanzahi and he was sentenced to death on charges of murder.

Nizamuddin Burhanzahi, 38 years old, was the son of Mohammad Mirin from Sourap village, Iranshahr.

In this report, quoting an informed source, it is stated: “In 2013, Nizamuddin was arrested on the charge of murder in the city of Kalat Sarbaz and was sentenced to death by the Iranshahr Criminal Court.”

Nizamuddin was transferred to solitary confinement in Iranshahr prison on Friday, December 22, 2022, and was executed at dawn on Saturday, September 23.

Including the execution of this Baloch prisoner, at least 518 Iranians have been executed since the beginning of this year, 1401, and 614 people have been executed since the beginning of 2022, which is a shocking and unprecedented figure. This is while many death sentences are carried out secretly and are not published or announced anywhere. Therefore, the actual number of executions is higher than this number.

Iranian Human Rights Society published a report on the number of executions in the past month, which amounted to at least 79 executions.

We remind you that. UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran accused Iranian government officials of launching a new campaign to execute prisoners.

It is worth mentioning that Saturday, December 22. Two other Baloch prisoners, Elias Raisi and Ayoub Rigi, were also executed in Zahedan prison.
