Ehsan Faridi, a 22-year-old Iranian student, is facing imminent execution for nothing more than expressing a political opinion. Arrested in June 2024 for "allegedly" supporting an opposition political group, Ehsan was charged with "corruption on earth"—a vague and politically weaponized accusation commonly used to silence dissent.

Today, his life hangs by a thread.

Why We Are Raising Our Voices
Ehsan’s entire prosecution has been built on coercion, torture, and intimidation:

• He was interrogated under torture and forced to sign false confessions.
• He was denied meaningful access to a lawyer and barred from reviewing his case file.
• His family was threatened and pressured for bribes by judicial authorities.
• When they refused, officials escalated the charges and rushed his case toward execution.
• Iran’s Supreme Court has now confirmed his death sentence — meaning the execution can happen at any moment.

These actions violate international law, including Articles 6, 7, and 14 of the ICCPR, which Iran has ratified. Ehsan’s case is part of a systematic pattern of persecuting students, young activists, and peaceful political dissidents.

A Mother’s Plea
Ehsan’s mother, Parvin Hayati, has courageously broken her silence after facing threats, speaking publicly with one desperate message:
“Save my son before it’s too late.”

Her voice represents thousands of Iranian families living under fear, repression, and the constant threat of state violence.

What We Are Demanding
We call on governments, human rights organizations, and international bodies to take urgent action:

1. Demand the immediate halt of Ehsan Faridi’s execution.
2. Condemn Iran’s use of torture and coerced confessions.
3. Call for the release of political prisoners detained solely for exercising freedom of expression.
4. Increase coordinated diplomatic pressure to hold Iranian authorities accountable for human rights violations.

Why Your Signature Matters
Silence enables injustice. Collective, global pressure has saved lives before — and it can save Ehsan’s life now. Every signature adds to a growing international demand that Iran must hear.

If we act together, we can help stop the execution of a young student whose only “crime” was expressing a belief.

✊ Stand with Ehsan. Stand with his family. Stand with human rights.
