	NEWS CENTER - The death sentence of Kurd politician Yusuf Ahmedi, who was sentenced to death, was approved by the Supreme Court of Iran.

	The death penalty given to Kurd politician Yusuf Ahmedi, who was detained and later arrested on charges of "cooperating with Kurd opposition parties" in April 2020, was approved by the court.

	&nbsp;

	Ahmedi's first hearing was held on September 5, 2023, at Sanandaj Revolutionary Court Branch 1.
