Another prisoner also convicted of drug related charges was executed on the same day in Isfahan Prison.

Such conditions of uncertainty caused severe anguish and mental distress for the two and their family.
The last time was on June 30, when they were taken to solitary confinement and returned to the ward before their scheduled execution date. The two brothers, along with two other prisoners, were transferred to a quarantine cell on July 3.
Amir Jalilifar, 56, and Akbar Jalilifar, 42, from Isfahan, were both arrested on drug charges and sentenced to death. Akbar Jalilifar was married and had two children.
