Abolfazl Mehri Hossein Hajilou

#AbolfazlMehriHosseinHajilou, a 17-year-old football player from Baharestan who was arrested in early October was accused of “confronting the Islamic system through committing arson against public property to cause disruptions in the country’s order and security.” The court accused him of setting fire to 25 rubbish bins during the #IranRevolution protests in Tehran. This accusation has lead to “Muharebe,” or “Waging war against God,” which has the death penalty.

Abolfazl was part of a sham group trial held on 29th of October which took less than 10 minutes without legal representation. Judging by Salavati also known as the judge of death three out of five had already received the death penalty.

Status: Tried by the Tehran Public Revolutionary Court, presided by Judge Salavati. Verdict unclear.

To Whom It May Concern,

Since September 16th, after the murder of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, by the so-called morality police, Iranians have been protesting for freedom, human rights, minority rights, and women’s right to self-expression.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has responded with a lethal reaction, killing hundreds of its citizens nationwide with military artillery and arresting thousands.

The ruthless suppression of Iranian demonstrators has reached entirely new heights.

Two detained protesters, Mohsen Shekari and Majid Reza Rahnavard, were put to death on December 8th and 12th, respectively, without going through a fair trial, having access to independent counsel, or having the option to ask for an appeal.

The IR regime is about to execute hundreds of people.

Members of the German parliament, such as Ye-One Rhie, Carlos Kasper, and Martin Diedenhofen, were the first to decide to be political sponsors of several arrested protestors who were given death sentences. Politicians’ backing is vital. When elected officials publicly defend a political prisoner, more attention is attracted to their fate. The media cover their activism, and the attention serves to safeguard innocent prisoners.

We need your help, and we urge you to act quickly to stop this massacre. Your actions can include, but are not limited to, the following:

– Announce your political sponsorship or advocate for the prisoners in imminent danger [1], [2].

– Publicly call on all nations to recall their ambassadors from Tehran and to remove all the regime’s diplomats.

– Declare all regime associates, including the IRGC, and the Supreme Leader Khamenei, as terrorist organizations and impose swift sanctions against them.

– Demand that UN specialists keep a close eye on the situation and urge the authorities to take extraordinary measures to halt executions.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this important, sensitive message and offer your support to save lives and the values Iranians are fighting for.

Sincerely,
