Breathing in Confinement -After eight years in prison, a prisoner accused of murder, saved from the execution in Aliabad-e- Katul
According to Mizan, after serving 8 years in prison in Aliabad-e- Katul County in Golestan province, an inmate sentenced to death, being pardoned by the victim’s family, was spared from the execution.
“Eight years ago, in a family scuffle, the man convicted of murder, had shot dead his brother-in-law by a BB gun rifle,” said Baqir Tabatabai, Aliabad-e- Katul County’s revolutionary and public prosecutor.
He added: ” After the verdict was released, upon the request of the victim’s family, the sentence was about to be executed. Through the mediation of the members of the 7th Branch Council and Special Branch of the county’s Peace and Conflict Resolution Council, the 51-year-old prisoner, accused of murder was pardoned by the victim’s relatives.”
