Summary

Description
English: A revolutionary firing squad at the Sanandaj airport in Iran. In a 30-minute trial, 11 prisoners from the Kurdish rebellion were charged with crimes of firearm trafficking, murder, and inciting riots, and were sentenced to death. The men were blindfolded and led outside to the airfield, where they were lined up several meters from their executioners. Razmi was unhindered by security forces, allowing him to stand behind the rightmost executioner and photograph the killings.
Français : Un peloton d'exécution révolutionnaire à l'aéroport de Sanandaj, en Iran. Au cours d'un procès de 30 minutes, 11 prisonniers de la rébellion kurde ont été inculpés de trafic d'armes à feu, de meurtre et d'incitation à l'émeute, et condamnés à mort. Les hommes, les yeux bandés, ont été conduits à l'extérieur de l'aérodrome, où ils ont été alignés à plusieurs mètres de leurs bourreaux. Razmi n'a pas été gêné par les forces de sécurité, ce qui lui a permis de se placer derrière le bourreau le plus à droite et de photographier les meurtres.
