SINE, East Kurdistan, — The execution of the Kurdish student Hebibullah Letifi, is scheduled for Sunday in Sine city, his lawyer said.
The Iranian officials are going to execute a Kurdish university student in the Boxing Day.
Habibollah Latifi’s lawyer, Saleh Nikbakht, told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that he received his client’s execution orders and he will be hung on Sunday, 26 December.
Habibollah Latifi is a university student from Kurdistan who has been sentenced to death on charge of Moharebeh, “enmity with God”.
The Kurdish political and civil activists are often accused of being the “enemy of God”.
Mr. Latifi is currently imprisoned at the Sine Prison and he is suffering from various illnesses such as intestinal infection, heart problems, and kidney failure.
The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran called for an immediate halt to this unfair sentence, and for the case to be reviewed by a judge independent of security forces.
Habibollah Latifi was arrested on 23 October 2007, and was transferred to Sine Prison. News of Latifi’s execution sentence circulated on 7 June 2010. His family have requested clemency for him on several occasions, but they have not been successful.
The Islamic republic of Iran has not hesitated to execute the Kurdish political and human rights activists. Since November of 2009, they have executed at least 7 Kurdish political activists, including Ehsan Fatahiyan, Fasih Yasamini, Farzad Kamangar, Farhad Vakili, Hassan Hekmat Demir, Ali Heydariyan and Ms. Shirin Alamhooli.
