Iranian Kurdish civil activist Pakhshan Azizi was sentenced to death.

This marks the second death sentence for a female political prisoner in Iran in recent weeks.

Azizi was arrested on August 4, 2023, by the Ministry of Intelligence in Kharazi, Tehran.

Human rights organizations and social media users have widely protested the sentence.

Azizi's legal proceedings were reported to be conducted in a non-transparent and unjust manner.
