Breathing in Confinement – On Monday morning, December 9, the death sentence of a prisoner on charges of “drug trade” was implemented at Boroujerd Central Prison.
According to the Iranian Human Rights Organization, on Monday, December 9, a prisoner was executed at Boroujerd Central Prison (in Lorestan province).
The prisoner sentenced to death on charges of “drug dealing” has been identified as “Arsalan Yarywand, 33, from the County of Dorud.”
It is worth noting that the prisoner had been detained in 2015 for carrying 85 kilos of industrial illegal drugs and had been held in jail since.
