I strongly condemn the death sentences for those who participated in the recent protests. The sole crime of these individuals was fighting against the oppressors & tyrants of their time, & bravely standing up against the abuse and suppression of the so-called “anti-riot police”.

This is the first time in contemporary history for a system of governance to issue the death penalty for people participating in protests. This heinous act is intended to create fear, and silence the people to extend their rule over this oppressed population.

Thereby, I call upon all the free people of this land and other nations, including international human rights organizations and the relevant institutions to take all the measures necessary to prevent this inhumane crime from happening. #MahsaAmini

The names of those sentenced to death are: Mohammad Ghobadlou Saman Seidi Mohsen Rezazadeh Gharghlou Saeed Shirazi Mohammad Brughani Abolfazl Mehri Hossein Hajilou Manuchehr Mehmanavaz
