SAY NO TO EXECUTION IN IRAN❗✋

SAY THEIR NAMES❗

On September 13, a 22-year-old Iranian woman Mahsa Amini, also known as Jina Amini, was arrested by Iran’s religious morality police for not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards and was severely beaten with baton while being transported to a detention center. She died three days later in a hospital in Tehran, Iran.

Although Iranian regime tried to cover up Mahsa Amini's horrific death, two brave reporters, Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi, who have been put into jail by the Iranian regime, revealed the truth that Mahsa died as a result of brain death due to police brutality.

After their reports, protests erupted across Iran. Thousands of people in several cities took to the streets to peacefully call for their fundamental rights and freedoms. They were led by women who tore off their hijabs, cut their hair and shouting the slogan “women, life, freedom.” The protests turned into a full revolution which means Iranian people no longer want the corrupt Islamic Regime and its dictator leader, Ayatollah Khamenei!

In response, Since the first day of Iranian revolution, the Iranian authorities have restricted access to the internet so that the news cannot leave the country and have started a brutal crackdown of the protests. They have beaten, arrested and killed the protestors, assailed the universities and schools, and literally kidnapped the students who protested, stole the protestors’ dead bodies and threatened their families. They torture the protesters and sexually assault them despite their age and sexualities. They make them to confess to the crimes they have never committed!according to the reports say that at least 500 protestors (including children and teenagers) have been brutally killed, and over 18,170 have been arrested including 565 students and around 1500 face criminal charges. The real numbers are definitely higher than these.

Nowadays, in order to suppress the revolution, Iranian regime is accusing detained protesters to Corruption and Moharebeh (waging war against God) which carry death penalty according to Iran’s Islamic laws, on sham trials. The accused protestors either are questioned without having a right to have a lawyer or their lawyers do not defend them because they are appointed by the regime.

So far two detained protesters, Mohsen Shekari (23-year-old) and Majidreza Rahnavard (23-year-old) who were convicted of injuring a murderer security guard and closing off a street, have been hanged. At least 26 people are at great risk of execution. Of the 26, at least 11 are sentenced to death and 15 are charged with capital offences & awaiting or undergoing trials.

Unfortunately, The United Nation of Human Rights, UNICEF and most politicians have not taken proper act to respond to these violent repressions in Iran.

So we have prepared a statement to bring awareness and invite the international community to launch a campaign to halt execution of Iranian protestors.
