Lawyer: The news of Mohammad Mehdi Karami’s execution is absolutely false
Mohammad Hossein Aghasi, a lawyer, says the news about Mohammad Mehdi Karami’s execution on the morning of Tuesday, December 20, is absolutely false.
He tweeted that the publication of such news severely distresses his family.
Mohammad Mehdi Karami has been accused of ‘corruption on earth’ and the court has sentenced him to death.
He is accused of killing Ruhollah Ajamian, a Basij member, during the 40th-day ceremony for Hadis Najafi.
His father told the Etemad newspaper that he called us on Wednesday and said, ‘Dad, they have given us the sentences, my sentence is death.’ My son was crying and said, ‘Don’t tell mom anything.’
Mr. Karami said the court-appointed lawyer for his son doesn’t even answer the phone.
In the case of Ruhollah Ajamian’s death, Ali Sharifzadeh Ardekani, the lawyer of one of the defendants, released details of his client’s severe torture.
