Ramin Hossein Panahi's brother announced on his Twitter page that he has been transferred to solitary confinement in Sanandaj prison for the execution of his death sentence. Ramin Hossein Panahi, a citizen from Kurdistan province, had his death sentence confirmed two weeks ago by the Supreme Court on charges of 'rebellion and membership in the Komala Party,' while his defense attorney rejects the 'rebellion' charge, deeming the sentence 'illegal.' Amnesty International previously reported that Ramin Hossein Panahi, along with three other members of the Komala Party, was ambushed by the IRGC forces and was arrested after being wounded during a 'fire exchange,' but his lawyer claims 'his client has never taken up arms.' Ramin Hossein Panahi has been in detention since July 2017 and previously told the court judge that he has been subjected to 'torture and mistreatment' in prison. Mahtab Vahidi Rad asked Hossein Ahmadi Niaz, Ramin Hossein Panahi's defense attorney, whether the execution order for his client has been communicated to him.
