Rezgar Beigzadeh Babamiri, a Kurdish political prisoner, has been sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court in Urmia.
According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, Zino Beigzadeh Babamiri, daughter of Rezgar Beigzadeh Babamiri, a political prisoner from Bukan held in Urmia Prison, reported the issuance of her father’s death sentence.
Rezgar Beigzadeh Babamiri, 47 years old and a native of Bukan, was arrested on April 17, 2023, near the village of Tekan-Tappeh, allegedly for providing and delivering medicine and aid to the wounded during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement. He was recently sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court in Urmia.
This sentence was issued despite repeated warnings from his daughter, Zino, in media interviews, where she emphasized that her father was at risk of receiving the death penalty based on fabricated charges, coerced confessions obtained under psychological torture, and prolonged solitary confinement, all without any credible evidence to support the accusations.
