Judgment

The Islamic Revolutionary Court of Jiroft and Kahnuj called Mr. Mohimi “a corruptor on Earth and an enemy of God” and sentenced him to death. The Supreme Judicial Council approved the ruling. He was executed by firing squad in Jiroft on September 3, 1984, at midnight. He was 28 years old. According to the information sent to Omid, authorities did not give his body and the bodies of his two relatives to their families, but since this resulted in turmoil across the city, they changed their minds, and all three bodies were buried at a family cemetery in Naserabad. According to the same report, all properties of Mr. Alikhan Mohimi (the victim’s father) in Jiroft and southern Rudbar were confiscated and given to the Mostaz’afan Foundation [a charitable and enterprising organization].
