MEHABAD, — Three members of a family named Eli, Hebib and Ceefer Efshari from Mehabad city received high sentences by the Iranian Revolutionary Court, local sources reported.
Mr Eli and Hebib were condemned to death sentence on the ground of Moharabe (enmity with God) and Mr Ceefer was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment with the same excuse.
The verdicts of the prisoners had been confirmed on 14th January by the High Court.
All three were arrested by the Iranian Intelligent Service last year on the ground of working with one of the Kurdish political parties.
Working with opposition parties is counted as a threat to the country’s security according to Iranian constitution. This is regarded as the enmity with God.
They had been under intensive torture and mistreatment in almost all of their imprisonment since their capture, the prisoners’ family stated.
