In a serious and concerning development regarding the issue of prisoners in Ahwaz, 'Ali Mojdam,' 'Moein Khanfari,' 'Mohammad Reza Moghadam,' and 'Adnan Ghobishawi (Mousawi)' have been transferred to the notorious Sepidar prison in the city of Ahwaz.
The prisoners have received death sentences from the Iranian Revolutionary Court, which raises significant concerns about their fate amid the accelerating pace of executions in the region. Ahwazi activists have expressed their deep concern and called for international organizations to intervene quickly to save the lives of prisoners, especially given the harsh conditions known in Iranian prisons. This development comes at a time when international pressure on Iran regarding human rights issues is increasing amid increasing reports of systematic violations against political prisoners, especially from non-Persian peoples like the Ahwazi Arabs.
Local and international human rights organizations are now calling for close monitoring of the situation and urgent steps to pressure the Iranian authorities to halt the implementation of sentences and ensure fair trials for prisoners in accordance with international standards. Ahwaz region is considered one of the most affected areas by systematic Iranian terrorism, and dozens of political activists and civil society activists are executed annually under harsh conditions and media blackout by the Iranian state.
