Freedom Messenger, Until January 9th, Hossein Khezri was held in Ward 12 of Oroumiyeh Prison and there is no information on his whereabouts despite the follow-ups of his family.
Since his death sentence which had been upheld in the appeals court was sent to the Sentence Enforcement Division, and the authorities had given contradictory statements to his family, there are growing concerns as to his condition.
Previously, the Oroumiyeh Prosecutor had told his family that he has been transferred to Tehran for his sentence to be carried out.
Khezri was detained on August 1, 2008 in Kermanshah by the IRGC officials and was interrogated until mid February. He was then transferred to Oroumiyeh and his only court session was held in the Oroumiyeh Revolutionary Court. His trial lasted 10 minutes and he was charged with anti-regime propaganda and collaborating with anti-regime groups.
The 10th branch of Western Azerbaijan upheld the sentence in August of 2009 and the verdict was delivered to him in prison.
