Iran Human Rights Organization: At least one hundred protesters from Dey are at risk of execution

🔸The Iran Human Rights Organization says that at least “one hundred protesters” detained in connection with the protests of Dey 1404 are at risk of execution.

🔸The report says that five of the one hundred are women and at least five others were under 18 at the time of the alleged “offense.”

🔸The Iran Human Rights Organization, in a statement released on Monday, September 23 Shahrivar, has asked the international community—especially countries that have diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic—to call for the immediate halt to executions in any discussions with officials of the Islamic Republic, as one of its main demands.

🔸Mohammad Momen Amir Moghaddam, director of the Iran Human Rights Organization, says: “These protesters were sentenced to death in Revolutionary Courts and in proceedings that lack the minimum standards of fair trial. These rulings are issued in a system in which torture and ill-treatment to obtain confessions are a systematic method, and forced confessions have repeatedly been the basis for cases ending in execution.”

🔸He added that “the risk of carrying out these rulings is serious. To save the lives of these protesters, the political cost of executing them must be raised through coordinated international pressure and ongoing campaigns.”

🔸The Iran Human Rights Organization says that in this report it has focused only on cases documented in 13 provinces out of Iran’s 31 provinces, and that other protesters in other parts of Iran are also at risk of execution.

🔸The organization has published the names, age, and place of detention of these individuals and, in some cases, their photos as well.

🔸This list mainly includes people who have been sentenced to death in the court of first instance, and only some of them have had their sentences upheld by the Supreme Court.

🔸Some of these individuals were sentenced to death in conditions in which the title of their charges is reported as unspecified.
