#Iran, Death penalty row: Shahab Zohdi, arrested during the anti-regime January 2026 protests, has been sentenced to death for a second time after the Supreme Court overturned his initial sentence. Charges: moharebeh, corruption on earth and collusion against security.
🚨 URGENT: SAVE SHAHAB ZOHDI — STOP ANOTHER EXECUTION IN IRAN! Shahab Zohdi was reportedly riding his motorcycle past the scene when he noticed a crowd and stopped. According to a source close to his family, he had no involvement in the fire. Yet the Islamic Republic has sentenced him to death for the SECOND time. Four other defendants in the same case have already been executed: 🛑Mohammad Amin Biglari 🛑 Shahin Vahedparast Kolour 🛑Amirhossein Hatami 🛑Ali Fahim Shahab’s first death sentence was overturned by Iran’s Supreme Court. Nevertheless, Judge Abolghasem Salavati issued another death sentence. He is a widowed father raising his 16-year-old daughter alone. FOUR LIVES HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN. DO NOT LET SHAHAB BECOME THE FIFTH. The international community, foreign ministries, human rights organizations and global media must act immediately. Demand transparency, independent investigation, due process and an immediate halt to his execution. @StateDept @FCDOGovUK @FranceDiplo @GermanyDiplo @CanadaFP @dfat @MofaJapan_en @ItalyMFA @eu_eeas @SwedenMFA @DutchMFA @SpainMFA @BelgiumMFA @NorwayMFA @DanishMFA @FinlandMFA @UNHumanRights @amnesty @AmnestyIran @hrw @UN @Reuters @AP @AFP @BBCWorld @CNN @dwnews @guardian @AJEnglish @TIME #StopExecutionsInIran #EndTheIslamicRepublic

Omran Amani, un jeune manifestant de 21 ans, vient d’être condamné à mort par la république islamique en Iran pour « guerre contre Allah » en raison de sa participation au soulèvement du lion et soleil de Janvier dernier. Il a été arrêté en février dernier , à la suite d’une perquisition menée par les forces criminelles Bassidj et des agents des services de renseignement du régime dans un logement à Téhéran. Il a été arrêté en même temps que deux de ses amis, Alireza Dolatpanah et Mohammad Khaleghi-Zadeh. Ces trois jeunes hommes travaillaient comme livreurs à moto et partageaient le même logement. Les agents les ont violemment battus au moment de leur arrestation. Après son arrestation, Omran Amani a été maintenu pendant deux mois en cellule d’isolement où il a été sévèrement torturé. l’épaule droite d’Omran Amani a été brisée dans la prison d’Evin, à la suite de tortures destinées à lui arracher des aveux forcés. Malgré plusieurs mois écoulés depuis ces faits, il n’aurait toujours pas bénéficié de soins médicaux appropriés. Quand un dirigeant du monde libre appelle à l’apaisement et à la négociation avec ce régime criminel, c’est la jeunesse Iranienne qu’il sacrifie …

A lack of empathy. That's what the Nuremberg trials revealed. Always the lack of empathy. Always.

18 femmes iraniennes sont dans le couloir de la mort pour le « crime » de s’être opposées à un régime islamique barbare et terroriste. Elles risquent d’être pendues à chaque instant ! Comment le monde peut-il être aussi silencieux face au sort du peuple iranien ?! Comment pouvez-vous ne parler que du détroit d’Ormuz, comme si la vie des nôtres n’avait aucune importance ? Comment pouvez-vous avoir l’audace d’invoquer le droit international chaque fois que la République islamique est en difficulté ? Où êtes-vous pour vous indigner du massacre que subit le peuple iranien ?! Où est votre indignation ? Où est votre humanité ? Source visuel : @iranrevolution_1401_hh Instagram

On #InternationalDayofPoliticalPrisoners, we express our gratitude to everyone supporting the global campaign to #StopExecutionsInIran. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the noble people who have raised their voices and shown solidarity with political prisoners on death row in Iran through the #NoToExecutionsTuesdays campaign. @analorenadp a member of the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, announced that she will join the action next week. Female political prisoners remain at the forefront of this struggle, consistently joining the weekly “No to Executions Tuesdays” hunger strikes for nearly three years. These prisoners are currently serving their sentences in women’s wards across the country, including Evin Prison, Qarchak Prison in Varamin, Sepidar Prison in Ahvaz, Adelabad Prison in Shiraz, and facilities in Zahedan, Yazd, Lakan Prison in Rasht, and Bandar Abbas. Join next week's campaign! c.c: @UNSRVAW @MounirSatouri @linagalvezmunoz
