  • A young wrestler has been sentenced to death in Iran for the murder of a public sector worker two years ago, a state television-linked news agency said Thursday. The Young Journalists Club (YJC) said Navid Afkari, a wrestler who competed in national tournaments, was convicted on the basis of "qisas", the Islamic law of retribution. The judiciary's Mizan Online news agency said he was found guilty of the "voluntary homicide" of a water department worker in Shiraz, southern Iran, who was stabbed to death on August 2, 2018. Shiraz and several other urban centres across the country were the scene that day of anti-government protests and demonstrations over economic and social hardships. According to media close to Iran's conservative camp, several religious establishments were attacked in "rioting" by demonstrators. Reports published abroad say Afkari, aged 27, was condemned on the basis of confessions extracted under torture, prompting online campaigns of support for his release. Mizan on Wednesday denied the charge. Afkari's lawyer, Hassan Younessi, said the ruling had been approved by Iran's supreme court and could not be appealed, but he would seek a retrial on the basis of new information, YJC reported. The lawyer said the ruling was made without any proof presented in court, although Mizan said surveillance video had identified Afkari as the perpetrator. London-based rights group Amnesty International said Iran executed at least 251 people last year, the world's second highest toll after China. ap/mj/hc/dv
