According to a statement released by the judiciary, Fahim was an "element of the enemy" who participated in what the statement described as "terrorist riots." The judiciary claims Fahim had "attacked forbidden military locations with the aim of seizing an arsenal and stealing war weapons."
The statement further indicated that Fahim's case was reviewed, and his sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court before the execution was carried out. The judiciary presented this action as a fulfillment of justice.
