Iranian authorities executed prisoner Kianoush Khosravi Siyah-Bidi for murder-related charges at Kermanshah Central Prison on 15 July, the Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) has learned.
He was arrested about four years ago in Bisotun, Kermanshah Province, and was sentenced to death after being found guilty of “premeditated murder”, a crime punishable by qisas (retribution in kind), which gives the victim’s family the right to retaliate under Islamic law.
Khosravi Siyah-Bidi was a 43-year-old man from Kermanshah, Kermanshah Province.
