Iran Supreme Court Upholds Death Sentences for Political Prisoners Branch 38 of the Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Court for a third time upheld the death sentences against seven Sunni political prisoners on September 10. The Sunni inmates, Farhad Salimi, Qassem Absteh, Davood Abdollahi, Ayub Karimi, Anwar Khezri, Khosrow Besharat, and Kamran Sheikha, have been detained in Urmia, Evin, and Rajai Shahr prisons for 11 years. They had previously been sentenced to death in Branches 41 and 42 of the Supreme Court.
