22 December 2020 :
Abdol-Basset Khesht was executed in the Central Prison of Zahedan on December 20.
On Sunday, December 20, 2020, a Baluchi prisoner by the name of Abdol-Basset Khesht was hanged in the Central Prison of Zahedan. Abdol-Basset, son of Pir-Mohammad, came from the village of Banest in Konarak County. The Baluchi prisoner was executed abruptly and without informing his family. Prison authorities did not even grant him a last visit with his family. The case of this prisoner was not transparent and his trials were not public. Abdol-Basset Khesht was arrested eight years ago in 2012 for allegedly murdering a military man. He had repeatedly rejected this accusation. But intelligence agents detained him in the Central Prison of Zahedan. The murdered officer was killed in Dorahi Kahir in Konarak. State forces were looking for the assailant. Abdol-Basset who was present in the scene at the time, started running and his national identity card falls on the ground. After some time, state forces arrested him. An informed source said: “The Coroner’s Office called the family of Abdol-Basset Khesht in the morning of December 20, and informed them that he had been executed and they should go and receive his body.” His family later transferred his body from Zahedan to Konarak.
