According to reports received, another Ahl-e Haqq prisoner was executed in the central prison facility of Urumiyeh (Urmia). In 2004, Yones Aghayan, a native of Miyandoab, and four other individuals belonging to the same religion were arrested by the security agents in an upheaval known as the Uj-Tapeh Village incident. In the subsequent trial, he was charged
with moharebeh [literally, “fighting” in classical Arabic. Moharebeh is the term used in Iran’s Sharia law to describe a major crime committed against Islam and the state, and it carries a punishment ranging from imprisonment to death – translator] and
sentenced to death.
