On prisoner identified only by his first name as Mansour refrained from going with the guards. He, according to other inmates, started to shout ’death to Khamenei and death to Larijani’, the Supreme leader and the head of the judiciary, and rejected the order of transfer, but when the guards tried to take him, committed suicide. Although his action was not immediately fatal, but caused severe bleeding and according to some accounts he died of his wounds, but his death has not been independently corroborated.
