Anwar Khezri, Farhad Salimi, Kamran Sheikheh and Khosrow Basharat, all from Iran’s Kurdish Sunni minority, are at grave risk of execution in Ghezel Hesar prison, Alborz province, amid an ongoing spike in executions across the country and following the arbitrary executions of three other Iranian Kurdish men between November 2023 and January 2024, who were tried in the same case. The seven men were convicted of “corruption on earth” (efsad-e fel-arz) and sentenced to death in a grossly unfair trial marred by allegations of torture and other ill-treatment.
