Iran Human Rights, January 7. 2010: According to several reports from Iran, a Kurdish political prisoner identified as Safih Yasamani, was hanged in the prison of Khoi (north-western Iran) yesterday morning.

According to these reports he was convicted of Moharebeh (at war with the God) and connection with a Kurdish opposition group Pjak. However, the Kurdish political party PJAK has denied Mr. Yasamani’s membership in this group.

Neither Mr. Yasamani’s lawyer nor his family were informed about Mr. Yasamani’s scheduled execution.

No Iranian officials have confirmed Mr. Yasamani’s execution yet.

Human rights groups in Iran have expressed concern about possible execution of several other Kurdish political prisoners in the Iranian prisons.

Ehsan Fattahian, another Kurdish political prisoner was executed in November 2009.
