Der 18-jährige Reza Pahlavi verließ am 21. Juni 1978, unmittelbar nach dem Abitur und fast 8 Monate vor der Revolution, den #Iran Richtung Texas, um seine Pilotenausbildung bei der US Air Force zu absolvieren.
Vor seiner Einreise nach Amerika machte er einen kurzen Zwischenstopp in England und traf sich dort mit der britischen Königsfamilie.

His father was so devoted to Iran’s revolution that he named his son after the regime's founder: Rouhollah. The son turned against the system & leaked the regime’s secrets on SM. He was lured to Iraq from Paris, kidnapped by the IRGC, & today, he was executed. #HumanRightsDay
#RouhollahZam left behind two daughters. He did not have access to a fair trial & forced to confess on state TV, but even then, he defended ppl’s fight against a brutal regime that just in the past 2 years has killed 100s of protesters & dissidents. No accountability! No shame!
With each execution, the Islamic Republic sends a message to its opponents & the world that it can neither change nor tolerate dissent & that it does not fear bloodshed for its survival. This approach has increased the scope of resistance/dissatisfaction instead.

Supreme Leader @khamenei_ir &his patronage network, Minister of Intelligence & his notorious ministry (MOIS) have been engaged in killing, massacre of Iranians & #terrorism abroad. Such designation & more are warranted, as Iranian people have been chanting “Death to Khamenei.”
Intel Minister Mahmoud Alavi designated today under E.O. 13553, for "serious human rights abuses" against the Iranian people, also collaborated with Foreign Minister @JZarif in a series of terror plots in Europe since 2018. Both deserve additional #terrorism designation as SDGT.
Treasury stated Alavi's "MOIS agents are responsible for beatings, sexual abuse, prolonged interrogations&coerced confessions of prisoners, particularly political prisoners." Recent example is wrestling champ #navidafkari murdered after torture for participating in #IranProtests.
1-The execution of a champion athlete, #NavidAfkari, by the Islamic Republic of Iran has shocked the world. As mentioned by @TValioghli, former member of Iran’s national swimming team, she’s seen several of her athlete friends executed by the regime.

2-The purge of Iranian sports began with the arrest of Ali Hojat Kashani, head of Physical Education Dept. He was arrested for the crime of holding 1974 Asian Games in Iran & encouraging sports, which was was seen as "corrupting" young people. He was summarily tried & executed
3-Then, revolutionaries set their sights on Nader Jahanbani, Iran’s equestrian champion and a jet pilot. He was also the head of the Iranian Physical Education Organization until 1978. After a show trial where revolutionaries couldn’t find any evidence of crime, he was executed
The Islamic Republic hanged Navid Afkari to death for standing up for the dignity of his country. Navid is a hero of Iran.

Family says Ghorbani was tortured into making a false confession. Rights activists say this is a common pressure tactic used by authorities seeking to create pretexts for harsh sentences against political prisoners when evidence of serious crimes is lacking.

Mehrdad Tahmtan is the "judge" that sentenced #NavidAfkari to double-execution.
Tahmtan also sentenced Navid’s brothers, Vahid & Habib, to 54 & 27 years in prison, respectively. The two were also sentenced to 74 lashes.

"The sudden enforcement of the death penalty against the 27-year-old wrestler, in addition to the ambiguities and legal contradictions in the case, have raised many questions," says the BBC Persian report on #NavidAkari. bbc.com/persian/iran-f…
Following are translations of some "ambiguities" and "questions" noted by the BBC Persian report on #NavidAfkari
"In his last contact with his family, he said: 'I have 10-15 injuries on my body. They came from the Medical Examiner’s Office and took pictures and investigated.'”

After I tweeted below images showing peaceful protest of #Iran Air Force personnel against execution sentence of #NavidAfkari, the #Twitter immediately ghost banned my main account for 7 days until now. The reason was that I used a hashtag saying "Do not execute our Navid"!
#IRGC Cyberspace Organization known as Seraj well knows weaknesses of #Twitter. They have thousands of accounts which mass report tweets containing anti-regime hashtags. As its result, the Twitter accounts of opposition activists & journalists are being ghost-banned by Twitter.
Last week I explained the issue for @heySierra @dawnmburton @bohan @CSulfaro27 @jenniferfraser @Larakate & they all ignored it. These are the individuals who help totalitarian regimes to silence their critics such as me.

Navid Afkari along with his two brothers were arrested in late summer 2018 allegedly during protests but then later charged with killing of an IRGC Baseej member.
He was an International wrestling champion.

There are so much that can be said about inconsistencies around his case, sham TV interview, tortures he suffered and the fact that there is more evidence to show that he died under torture and not executed. But in his last words, he would like you to know this:
#Iran #Germany #Teheran #Ambrassador #NavidAfkari
The Iranian foreign ministry summoned the German ambassador to Tehran because of his criticism of the execution of the wrestler Navid Afkari.
The Iranian foreign ministry summoned the German ambassador to Tehran because of his criticism of the execution of the wrestler Navid Afkari.
The ministry "condemned the diplomat's statements in the strongest possible terms" and informed Ambassador Hans-Udo Muzel that his reaction would be viewed as "interference in the internal affairs" of Iran, it said in a statement.
The Federal Foreign Office and the European Union (EU) had previously condemned the execution "in the strongest terms". The Foreign Ministry in Berlin was "horrified" that the death penalty was being carried out "despite international protests and requests for suspension,"
