Defending Those Who Are Sentenced to Death In Iran’s Nationwide Uprising

I hereby strongly condemn the death sentences issued for a number of those who participated in the recent protests. The sole crime of these individuals was fighting against the oppressors and tyrants of their time, and 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.

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

The Founder of The School of Erfan Keyhani Halgheh  and Taheri Peace Organization
Mohammad Ali Taheri
