Urgent: Two Prisoners in Imminent Danger of Execution

Two prisoners in Shiraz are in imminent danger of execution for drug related charges issued by Iran's revolutionary courts.

Iran Human Rights (MAR 19 2017): Two prisoners at Shiraz's Adel Abad Prison who are on death row on drug related charges were reportedly transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for their executions.

According to close sources, the prisoners are: Cyrus Abedi, 36 years of age, and Farajbakhsh Amrollahi.

"Cyrus and Faraj were both arrested in 2012 on the charge of possession of two kilograms of crystal meth and a small amount of opium. They were sentenced to death by Shiraz's revolutionary court in the same case file," a confirmed source tells Iran Human Rights.
