Iran: Prisoner dies suspiciously a day before his release
NCRI - On Monday June 24, 2013, a Baluchi prisoner, Aliraza Shahbakhsh, 23, suspiciously passed away in Zahedan prison a day before his release. In order to cloak this murder in secrecy, the clerical regime disconnected all prisoners’ connections for five days.
Aliraza Shahbakhsh had been arrested at age 16 for alleged killing of son of Abdulmajid Nodyzehi, an IRGC commander. After 7 years of imprisonment, Alireza was supposed to be released on Tuesday, June 24, after being proved to be innocent.

(ISNA State News Agency- June 22, 2013), but according to hospital’s authorities he had already been died before his transfer to the hospital.
