Iran protester at risk of execution held without contact
An Iranian protester sentenced to death, who is the sole guardian of his child, is being held in poor conditions and denied contact with the outside world in Qezel Hesar Prison while facing the risk of imminent execution, sources told Iran International.
Shahab Zohdi, born February 18, 1988, has raised his child alone for the past 15 years after his wife died five months after their child’s birth.
He worked as a motorcycle courier for ride-hailing service Snapp before his arrest and is now 38.
Zohdi was sentenced to death in connection with the alleged arson of a Basij base on Namjoo Street in Tehran, a case in which multiple defendants including Mohammad Amin Biglari, Yasser Rajaifar, Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani, Amirhossein Hatami, Shahin Vahedparast, and Ali Fahim also received death sentences.
