2 Iran Human Rights Monitor Salas said he was forced under torture to make a “confession” against himself. This “confession”, taken from his hospital bed, was broadcast on EXECUTION state television weeks before his trial and used as the only piece of evidence to convict him. OF POLITICAL He was not allowed access to his chosen lawyer at any point before or during his trial, and his independent lawyer’s repeated demands to the PRISONERS authorities to allow critical evidence indicating his innocence were dismissed outright.

Ramin Hossein Panahi, Zaniar Moradi and Loghman Moradi

Ramin Hossein Panahi and cousins Zaniar Moradi and Loghman Moradi were executed on Saturday, September 8. The trials of all three men were grossly unfair. All were denied access to their lawyers and Ramin Hossein Panahi families after their arrest, and all said they were tortured into making “confessions”. They had been sentenced to death despite these massive failings in due process. The two cousins had spent eight years on death row since confessing to a 2009 killing of the son of a Muslim cleric in Marivan, a confession that both men later said was extracted under torture. Panahi was sentenced to death in January for allegedly drawing a weapon against Iranian security forces operating in northwestern Iran’s predominantly ethnic Kurdish region in June 2017. He confessed to taking up arms against the state, but Amnesty said family members who saw him in court believe he also was tortured into confessing because of apparent torture marks on his body. Zaniar Moradi and Loghman Moradi Ramin Hossein Panahi began a hunger strike at Rajaei Shahr prison on August 26 by sewing his lips together in protest at his death sentence.

Annual report on the death penalty in Iran, October 2018 3 DEATH-ROW PRISONERS, HORRIFYING NUMBERS

Rjaie Shahr Prison The highest number of executions count up for Rajaishahr Prison. This prison is also known as Gohardasht. It’s located in the city of Karaj approximately 20 km west of Tehran. Around 264 inmates are held in ward 10 of this prison, of which 86 are on death row, meaning one third. In ward 3, known as the youth ward, with around 180 inmates under the age of 25, around 80 are currently on death row condemned for “retribution in kind.” A number of these individuals were arrested under the age of 18. This accumulates to nearly half of the youth ward and one-third of ward 10 are inmates on death row. In ward 3 nearly 120 of the 210 inmates are on death row. This is more than half. In ward 2, known as the Dar Al Quran ward, 120 of the 160 inmates are condemned based on “retribution” charges.

Qezel Hessar Prison Unit 2 of this prison has around 1,000 death row inmates, with numerous individuals charged with murder and others for drug offenses.

Urmia Central Prison Inwards 1 to 4 of this jail more than 166 individuals are currently on death row. All the while this may not be the latest numbers. Wards 1 and 2 of this prison, specified for mentally disturbed inmates, eight individuals are on death row. Ward 12 is also home to three death row inmates. The so-called youth ward houses six individuals condemned to execution. Ward 15, known as the drug offenses ward, six individuals are known to be on death row.

Zahedan Central Prison According to the latest list of names rounded up in March, 145 inmates are on death row. Some of which have been held in the horrendous conditions of this jail for years awaiting their execution. Drug criminals and a number of political prisoners are seen among the death row inmates. 24 individuals in ward 4 of this prison are on death row, mostly for drug-related charges, murders or affiliation to political groups. Wards 1 and 3 of this prison houses another 21 death row inmates.

Dastgerd Prison of This prison has around 20 death row inmates, charged with murder and drug offenses.

4 Iran Human Rights Monitor force the families of execution victims to pay for the noose used to hang their loved ones, or the bullet used to shoot them. The victim’s body is not delivered to the family until the money is paid. DEATH-ROW PRISONERS’ 2018 reports included cases of authorities refusing to deliver the body of execution victims CONDITIONS to their families or burying them without the families› permission.

The 17th World Day Against the Death Penalty aims at raising awareness on the inhumane living conditions of people sentenced to death. Death row prisoners in Iran linger in catastrophic conditions from solitary confinement to the medieval tortures inflicted on them. The living conditions tend to dehumanize death-row prisoners and take away their dignity. In many cases where people were sentenced to death or executed, the proceedings did not meet international standards of the due process of law. This includes the extraction of “confessions” through torture or other ill- treatment. The tortures some death row prisoners were reportedly subjected to follow: 1. Completely stripping the prisoners and pouring boiling hot water on them; 2. Pushing needles into their genitals; 3. Hanging prisoners upside down from their feet; 4. Hanging prisoners by their wrists; 5. Pulling out the prisoners’ nails; 6. Leaving the prisoners in absolute darkness for about forty days. Some prisoners lose part of their eyesight; 7. Depriving prisoners of bathing for two months; 8. Restricting prisoners’ use of restroom to only once in every 24 hours; 9. Giving prisoners food rations the size of the palm of a hand; 10. Forcing prisoners to eat in the same unwashed plate for three months; 11. Flogging prisoners while eating their food. Many spend prolonged periods on death row, sometimes for more than a decade. On numerous occasions, prisoners are sent to the gallows, then returned to the cell. Sometimes, they inform prisoners of scheduled hanging but postpone its implementation. In this way, death- row prisoners have to endure additional pain and suffering. Sometimes, the families are not informed of the execution of their loved ones adequately in advance and not given the chance to say goodbye. A commonplace in many Iranian prisons is to
