IRANIAN Kurdish political prisoner Ramin Hossein Panahi has received a last-minute stay of execution, his lawyer revealed on Wednesday evening.
Mr Panahi was due to be executed today, but Iranian authorities temporarily paused proceedings against the Kurdish activist.
He had been handed the death penalty by a court in January after being found guilty of “acting against national security” and is accused of membership of the Kurdish opposition group Komala.
