The death sentence of Ramin Hossein Panahi, a prisoner from Kurdistan province in Iran, has been confirmed by the Supreme Court. His charges include 'rebellion and membership in the Komala Party.' This sentence was previously issued in Bahman 1396 (February 2018) by Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court in Sanandaj (the primary court). Amnesty International had previously reported that Ramin Hossein Panahi, along with three other members of the Komala Party, was ambushed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and was arrested after being injured during an 'exchange of fire.' However, his defense attorney claims that 'his client has never taken up arms.' Ramin Hossein Panahi has been in detention since Tir 1396 (July 2017) and had previously told the court judge that he was subjected to 'torture and mistreatment' in prison. Mahtab Vahidi Rad interviewed Hossein Ahmadi Niaz, the defense attorney of Ramin Hossein Panahi, asking him about the details of the charges and the verdict against his client.
