Early morning on Thursday, July 18, 2024, a 45-year-old Baloch political prisoner named Idris Jamshid Zahi was executed in Zahedan Central Prison. This prisoner was arrested on charges of killing a Basiji member in Iranshahr and subsequently sentenced to execution by the Zahedan court.
According to the reports received by Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM), Idris Zahi was arrested in 2017 on charges of killing a native Basij commander and a friend of Qasem Soleimani named Seyed Abdolkarim Sajadi in Iranshahr. He was subsequently sentenced to execution by the Revolutionary Court, Branch 2, in Zahedan. His execution was carried out early morning yesterday in accordance with the issued verdict.
Idris Jamshid Zahi, a father of five children and a resident of Tighap village in the outskirts of Iranshahr, had his last meeting with his family one day before his execution.
The execution of this prisoner has not been announced by Iranian judiciary-affiliated media or official sources up until the moment of this publication, and the execution took place quietly without media coverage or news reports.
