Breathing in Confinement: At dawn on Saturday, January 26, 2025, the execution of at least one prisoner, who had been arrested on charges of \u201cmurder\u201d and sentenced to death, was carried out in Ardabil Prison.<\/p>\n
According to Breathing in Confinement, the news outlet of the Prisoners’ Rights League in Iran, at dawn on Saturday, January 26, Zargham Jahandideh Soha, a 36-year-old prisoner sentenced to death on charges of \u201cmurder,\u201d was executed in Ardabil Prison.<\/p>\n
Zargham Jahandideh Soha, son of Jamshid, was from the village of Soha, located in the Vilkij rural district of Namin County. He was a father of two and had been arrested five years ago following a dispute that resulted in an unintentional killing, leading to his death sentence.<\/p>\n
According to received reports, the altercation between Zargham and another individual occurred due to provocation by others. The victim, who was attempting to break up the fight, was unintentionally killed by Zargham.<\/p>\n
Despite an initial agreement by the victim\u2019s family to accept 30 billion tomans in blood money (diya) and extensive efforts by the public and philanthropists who managed to collect 50 billion tomans, the victim\u2019s family despite their repeated promises, ultimately refused to grant clemency. As a result, Zargham Jahandideh Soha\u2019s execution was carried out at dawn on Saturday, January 26, in Ardabil Prison.<\/p>\n
As of the time of this report, the execution of this prisoner has not been announced by official resources.<\/p>\n
