  Stop Mass Execution of Detained Protesters in Iran. Iranian parliament asked 6nov to execute all Protestors prisoners.  Plz help us...

 

Since 16 September 2022, there have been nationwide protests in Iran. Protests were initially against the mandatory hijab law in Iran and the murder of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was in the custody of the morality police for not wearing the hijab properly. However, protests in Iran have turned into a national revolt against the theocratic regime and for human rights, freedom, and democracy.

 

These protests have been responded to with brutal and violent crackdowns. Security forces have repeatedly used illegal force, mass arrests, and torture to crush peaceful protesters. According to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) at least 318 protesters, including 49 children, are killed and at least 14000 people, including lawyers, journalists, and activists, are arrested during the last six weeks. 

 

Yesterday, Nov 6, 227 out of 290 members in Iran's hardline-led parliament, said in a statement that "We ask the judiciary to deal decisively with rioters and execute them." Many protesters have been charged with Moharebeh (war against God). One of these protesters is Saman Yasmin, a Kurdish songwriter, composer, and rapper from Kermanshah who was abducted by Iranian security forces at his home in Tehran on October 2, 2022. 

 

According to the laws of the Islamic Republic in Iran, the political and security accusation of "Moharebeh" carries the risk of issuing a death sentence or even amputation of the right hand and left leg. Since the 1979 revolution in Iran, mass executions of Iranian protesters have happened several times. Last time, 1500 protesters were killed in Iran's uprising by Khamenei's direct order in 2019. 

 

Please sign this petition and call on the Iranian authorities to:

Stop violent and illegal crackdowns on the protesters 

Stop torturing and executing the arrested protesters 

Release detained journalists, musicians, lawyers, activists, and doctors who have been doing their jobs rightfully
