They are reportedly refusing food in protest to their detention and death sentences. Their names are:\u00a0Jamshid and Jahangir Dehgani (brothers), Hamed Ahmadi and Kamal Molayee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->Iranian authorities arrested them and six other individuals shortly after Iran\u2019s Leader Ali Khamenei paid a visit to the province of Kurdistan in 2009. They had gathered at a mosque to protest against insults the regime authorities direct at Sunnis. Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of Iran Human Rights based in Norway says these prisoners were subjected to unfair trials and possibly sentenced to death as part of the Iranian authorities\u2019 crackdown on the Sunni Muslim in Iran. \u201cWe ask the international community to use all the channels in order to help these prisoners meet their just demands,\u201d says Amiry-Moghaddam in an IHR report.<br \/>\nDoesn\u2019t make sense<br \/>\nAuthorities charged the ten with an assassination crime that occurred after they were arrested and sentenced to death. Authorities later changed their charge to \u201cMoharebeh\u201d, but executed six of them in December 2010 for other unrelated charges: drug trafficking and rape.<br \/>\nThe trial for the four remaining prisoners lasted ten minutes and without the presence of a lawyer. The entire investigation process was riddled with torture and deception \u2014 attempts by authorities to complicate the cases in order to discourage human rights activists and NGOs from reporting. And, a lack of or missing information in a human rights case often causes media seeking the cause of death to just publish official quotes by Iranian authorities.<br \/>\nBy executing six individuals arrested at the protest under bogus charges, Iranian authorities succeed to cause further confusion in the cases of the remaining four individuals. They are sitting on death row refusing to eat. They are in critical health.<br \/>\nAmnesty announced on Thursday that Iranian authorities have executed 40 people since the beginning of 2014.<br \/>\nPersian2English\u2028Summary Translation Siavosh Jalili\u2028Report Editing Maryam Nayeb Yazdi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranian &#8211; January 17, 2014 &#8211; The Centre for Supporters of Human Rights reports on four Kurdish prisoners on death row in Ghezel Hesar Prison who have been on hunger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[55,74,72,73,75],"class_list":["post-453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-execution","tag-hamed-ahmadi","tag-jahangir-dehgani","tag-jamshid-dehgani","tag-kamal-molayee"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=453"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":454,"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453\/revisions\/454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iransos.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
