Kurdish political prisoner Ramin Hossein Panahi’s brother Ehmed Hisen Panahi spoke to Rojnews and said; “My brother has been put in a cell today. According to the court decision, my brother will be executed on Thursday.”

Komela Peshmerga Ramin Hossein Panahi had been captured in a wounded state during a clash with Iranian security forces in Sine countryside last year. After appearing in court, he was sentenced to death for “waging war against God” and “membership to an armed organisation”.
