Breathing in confinement: At dawn on Wednesday, 11 December 2024, two prisoners who were previously arrested and sentenced to death for \u201cmurder\u201d were executed in Miandoab Prison.<\/p>\n
According to \u201cBreathing in confinement,\u201d the news outlet of the Prisoners\u2019 Rights League in Iran, the identities of the two prisoners, have been confirmed as Sajjad Azizzadeh and Ebrahim Valizadeh.<\/p>\n
Based on the reporter of Breathing in confinement, Sajjad Azizzadeh, the son of Ghodrat and a resident of Nowruzlu, and Ebrahim Valizadeh, from Qajlu village, were involved in an incident seven years ago. After consuming alcohol with the victim, an altercation ensued, leading to the victim\u2019s death. The two were jointly convicted of \u201cmurder\u201d and sentenced to death. This occurred despite earlier reports suggesting the possibility of obtaining the victim\u2019s family\u2019s consent for their release. Nevertheless, their execution was carried out at dawn on 11 December.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that under Article 291 of the Islamic Penal Code, a murder committed in a state of intoxication might be considered an unintentional act and exempt from qisas (retribution). Witnesses in this case stated that the defendants\u2019 intoxication was not intended for committing a crime, and their act was due to loss of control caused by alcohol, without prior intent.<\/p>\n
