This political prisoner’s sentence was supposed to take place on December 26th, 2010, but was postponed after a huge crowd in Sanandaj gathered to contest it and was ordered off just before dawn (the time of the execution).
According to Kurdish News Agencies, this sentence was sent to the Supreme Court on December 28th and was returned to the court of justice of Sanandaj after only 24 hours.
No specific time has been mentioned for the execution, but the informants of this case have told that his sentenced has only been postponed as a matter of safeguard and that it could be conducted at any time.
Mr Latifi’s family have also confirmed this news.
According to reports, civil rights activists have prepared a letter addressed to the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Khamenehei asking for a special pardon for Habibollah Latifi, 4th and last year industrial student in Ilam University, who was arrested in October 2007. He is accused of conspiracy against the National Security and insurgence and was then sentenced to death. The leter has been signed by hundreds of people in Sanandaj.
