Eastern Kurdistan- Urmiye: On Sunday morning the Kurdish political prisoner Mr. Hussein Xizri who has been sentenced to death was taken from the Urmiye Prison to an unknown place and nothing has yet been revealed about him.
According to our news correspondence the Iranian Intelligence Agents who have taken him away from his cell, had also taken his personal belonging with them. Since Mr. Xizri is sentenced to death it’s possible that his due execution has been today carried out. This has raised concerns among his family as well as the human rights institutions.
Mr. Xizri was sentenced to death in 11th July 2009 by the Revolutionary Court of Urmiye due to his membership in the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK). During the course of his detention Mr. Xizri was subjected to extensive systematic torture by the Iranian Intelligence Service as well as the Iranian Military Corps. Due to the torture that Mr. Xizri has received he has lost 25% of his eye sights.
