@hrw @sepehrifar 3/ Human rights lawyer Kaveh Shahrooz says @sepehrifar @hrw "promotes known Islamic Republic of Iran apologists" & may have sought to silence families to protect Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. He calls on @hrw to investigate. @KenRoth should respond.
@hrw @sepehrifar @KenRoth 4/ On Tuesday, Iran's Court of Appeals upheld prison sentences of 8 environmentalists falsely accused being U.S. spies, including Niloufar Bayani. She was held incommunicado for 8 months. Her interrogators tortured and threatened her with sexual assault.

@hrw @sepehrifar @KenRoth 5/ Regime interrogators tortured Bayani physically & psychologically for 12 hours a day. They showed her pictures of torture tools, made her listen to descriptions of others' torture and execution, and pretended they were going to lethally inject her.

@hrw @sepehrifar @KenRoth 6/ In October, ahead of last week's final verdict, famed primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall issued this video appeal to the leaders of Iran, asking compassion for 8 Iranian conservationists jailed for their work with wildlife. Yet the regime continues to torture them.
