Iran executed two Kurdish prisoners who were recently sentenced to imprisonment by hanging in Zanjan.

Lawyers of Yusuf Mirza (32) and Syamend Yusut Mirza (32) were unaware of the death sentence verdict calling the executions unlawful.

Zanjan court sentenced Syamend  to life in prison and Lawand to 8 years about a month ago. Both were found guilty of drug charges.

According to Rudaw website the family of Yusuf and Syamend, which has moved to live in Soran town, an Iraqi Kurdish town near Erbil, soon after its two members were arrested, said that they were told a month before the execution was implemented that there sons were going to be prosecuted once again. But they say that none of the nine lawyers they hired was allowed to see the court files containing charges against the suspects.

On the day that Syamend and Lawand were hung, their father was asked to go to Zanjan for untold purpose. He was hopeful that this time he would bring his sons home and start a new life. 5 other Persian co-workers of Syamend were already released.

But the father, himself, did not come back alive either. He faced a heart stroke and died after he was told that his sons had been hung and denied to take the corpses back.
