Tehran [Iran], April 26 (ANI): Iran has executed a man convicted of membership in the Sunni armed group Jaish al-Adl and of carrying out attacks on security forces, state broadcaster Press TV reported Sunday, citing the judiciary.
The judiciary said the man, identified as Amer Ramesh, was found guilty of committing terrorist acts in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan. His death sentence was carried out early Sunday after Iran’s Supreme Court affirmed the conviction and all legal procedures were completed.
Press TV reported that Ramesh was captured during a counterterrorism operation in Pir Sohrab rural district of Chabahar County. The Provincial Revolutionary Court had convicted him of planting bombs, staging surprise attacks on law enforcement, and belonging to Jaish al-Adl and a criminal anti-Iran network led by fugitive militant Abdul-Ghaffar Naqshbandi, handing down a death sentence.
According to state media, the Supreme Court upheld the ruling based on existing documents, evidence, and Ramesh’s confessions. Sistan and Baluchestan province, which borders Pakistan, has experienced multiple attacks on civilians and security personnel in recent years, Press TV noted.
The report recalled a deadly October 26, 2024 attack in Gohar Kuh district of Taftan County that killed ten law enforcement officers; Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility. Al Jazeera, citing Tasnim, said Ramesh faced charges of armed rebellion, including involvement in bombings and ambushes against military personnel. Jaish al-Adl is a Sunni armed group active in Sistan-Baluchestan, one of Iran’s poorest regions. (ANI)
