Amnesty International: Haidar Ghorbani, a Kurdish political prisoner, is at risk of execution

Amnesty International announced on Tuesday (October 23nd) that Haidar Ghorbani, a Kurdish political prisoner accused of "prostitution", was at risk of execution. Amnesty International has written to the head of the judiciary, Ibrahim Ra'isi, asking him to overturn the death sentence of Haidar Ghorbani and allow him to be tried fairly. According to the letter, 47-year-old Haidar Ghorbani, who is in Sanandaj prison, his request for a retrial was rejected by the Supreme Court on September 7, and he is now at risk of execution at any moment. The International Court of Human Rights says that despite numerous objections to the unfair trial of Haidar Ghorbani, Branch 2 of the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence. Amnesty International continues the letter by discussing how Haidar Ghorbani was tried in the Revolutionary Court of Sanandaj and wrote: Haidar Ghorbani was sentenced to death in the Revolutionary Court on February 22 last year on charges of "armed uprising" against the Islamic Republic. The letter states that while Haidar Ghorbani was convicted of killing three members of the Basij by KDP forces, the court ruled that Haidar Ghorbani had never been armed. Amnesty International says the sentence is based on "confessions" from the torturer, who said he was the only driver of the car in which the attackers committed the murder. Amnesty International has also stated that since his arrest, Haidar Ghorbani has been under pressure in prison to confess, and that he himself has been repeatedly tortured into "confessing", and that a "video" of this "confession" has been made by the Press Network. TV "published it. In this regard, Sharareh Sadeghi, Haidar Ghorbani's wife, released a video emphasizing that her husband was "under the most severe physical and mental torture" and called for international help to stop his death sentence.
