Tourat Mohammadi, a native of Mazar-e-Sharif and father of four, was executed on September 23, according to information obtained by the two rights organizations. His execution was reportedly carried out without prior notification to his family or lawyer.
Hengaw said Mohammadi had previously worked for an organization affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He was arrested about two years ago and spent seven months in an IRGC intelligence detention facility, where he was interrogated before being sentenced to death on espionage charges.
