The families of four Sunni prisoners in danger of imminent execution in Iran have gathered outside Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj in protest at their death sentences.

According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), the families, despite opposition from Iranian security forces, have refused to leave the prison until the death sentences are revoked, and until the prisoners are returned to Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj.

The four men, Jamshed Dehghani, Jahangir Dehghani, Kamal Molayee and Hamed Ahmadi, are currently held in solitary confinement in Ward 1 of the prison, and are being made to wear clothes specific for execution. They are in danger of imminent execution.
