Thursday is in the prison of Sanandaj a man hanged.The man, Ahmad Khalaj was sentenced to death by hanging by Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court in Sanandaj.The sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court.
The way the execution was conducted, makes the execution order questionable and shows a lack of regards for the laws by authorities.
Ahmad Khalaj only learned of his execution on the morning of that day, and initially tried to commit suicide.
He suffered heavy blood loss and was rendered unconscious. He was transfered to a medical facility where his injuries were attended to.
Judge Baba'i, assigned to Sanandaj’s Revolutionary Court, Branch 1, insisted on proceeding with the execution order.
Iranian law states that in cases where an individual is not medically fit, the person cannot be put to death until the individual has fully recovered.
Furthermore, the law says that an execution should be done before sunrise, otherwise it must be postponed to another date.
Ahmad Khalaj’s execution occurred after 11:00 am while he was still suffering and bleeding to the extent that he was too weak to stand on his own.
