This morning, Tuesday, April 21st, Shayan Saeedpour, a prisoner sentenced to death, was executed in Saqez Prison.

 Yesterday, Saeedpour's family was called to the prison for the last visit, and the efforts of the citizens and trustees of Saqez to obtain the consent of the avengers of blood to prevent the execution of this prisoner sentenced to retaliation were fruitless.

 On March 27th, Shayan Saeedpour escaped from Saqez Prison following an uprising in Saqez Prison. The prisoner sentenced to death was later arrested by intelligence and transferred to Sanandaj Prison.

 On August 19th, 2015, Shayan Saeedpour, while under the age of 18,  in a clash with a citizen killed a person named Suleman Azadi.

 He was sentenced to death by the First Branch of the Criminal Court of Sanandaj on October 23rd, 2018 under the chairmanship of Judge Vafaeian, and the verdict was upheld by the Supreme Court in February.
