NCRI – A Kurdish student has been scheduled to be executed on Sunday by the Iranian regime.
Amnesty International released a statement on Friday calling for the prevention of the execution of Habibollah Latifi.
The human rights organization said it “is unconditionally opposed to the death penalty – the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment – in all cases.”
“Habibollah Latifi was arrested on 23 October 2007 in Sanandaj, the Kordestan provincial capital, north-western Iran,” and a year later was sentenced on charges of “moharebeh” (enmity towards God) to execution, Amnesty said.
His lawyer has said that the ruling has been upheld by the regime’s appeals court and has been scheduled to be implemented on Sunday.
