Execution of Political Prisoner Jassem Heydari and Three Other Prisoners<\/h3>\n

\"On<\/p>\n

On Sunday, February 28, 2021, the clerical regime executed<\/a> the political prisoner Jassem Heydari and three other prisoners. According to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, a source has said that Jassem Heydari’s father saw his body on Sunday in the infamous intelligence office. The clerical regime’s judiciary carried out the death sentence of Jassem Heydari on charges of misconduct “fornication through cooperation with opposition groups.” This sentence was approved and notified to the Supreme Court of the regime on Thursday, November 12, 2020.<\/p>\n

Jassem Heydari was a resident of the Zaferanieh district in Ahvaz. He was arrested in December 2017 in Tehran. He was first transferred to Evin Prison and then to the Ahvaz Intelligence Detention Center. The initial death sentence was handed down to Jassem Heydari at the regime court in Ahvaz. Jassem Heydari was a refugee in Austria before being arrested, but after returning to the country, he was arrested in Tehran and transferred to Evin Prison.<\/p>\n

Intelligence agents subjected Jassem to the most severe physical and mental torture to force him to make a forced confession under torture. To increase the pressure on this political prisoner, the notorious Ahvaz Intelligence Office also arrested his 50-year-old mother, Marzieh Heydari, on March 11, 2018. Ms. Marzieh Heidari was later transferred to Sepidar Prison in Ahvaz and released on bail. Jassem Heydari was subjected to severe mental and physical torture in the Intelligence Agency’s detention center for several months. He was later transferred to Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that Jassem Heydari is one of the prisoners who were transferred to an unknown place for a long time during the recent protests in Ahvaz Central Prison along with several other prisoners.<\/p>\n
