Iranian protester #MohammadGhobadlou, 22, risks being executed imminently after Supreme Court announced decision to uphold his death sentence issued after sham unfair trial. Authorities must immediately halt plans to execute him & quash his death sentence.
Mohammad Ghobadlou was sentenced to death under 2 months after his arrest on 22 September. His independent lawyers were not allowed in court. According to his family and lawyers, the court did not adequately examine his mental health problems, which he has said he suffers from.
Mohammad Ghobadlou was sentenced to death for “corruption on earth” after a sham trial before a Revolutionary Court. Authorities used torture-tainted “confessions” to convict him of running over police officials with a car, killing one and injuring several others.
Mohammad Ghobadlou’s lawyer has pointed to the prosecution’s reliance on flawed evidence while warning that the authorities are seeking to convict his client in a summary fashion, which he said would constitute “revenge” not justice.
Amnesty International has serious concerns that Mohammad Ghobadlou was subjected to torture and other ill-treatment. An official forensic report pointed to bruising and injuries on his body which it assessed had been sustained when he would have been in custody.
The allegations of torture and other ill-treatment against Mohammad Ghobadlou must be criminally investigated and those responsible must be held accountable.
International community must use all tools at its disposal to pressure Iran’s authorities to halt Mohammad Ghobadlou’s execution & not allow Iran’s machinery of death to claim another victim while word’s attention is on celebrating the festive season.

🕯️ چهارشنبه گذشته چهلم #مهسا_امینی بود

ما همراه و همدل با #زن_زندگی_آزادی در ایران هستیم.

ما از همه کشورها می‌خواهیم که کمک کنند شورای حقوق بشر سازمان ملل به مصونیت ناقضان حقوق بشر از مجازات در ایران پایان دهند.
بدانید که چرا شورای حقوق بشر باید مجرمان را پاسخگو کند

👇🧵
⁉️ شورای حقوق بشر سازمان ملل چه نقشی دارد؟
دهه‌ها نقض فاحش حقوق بشر و جنایات جدی بین المللی در ایران:

❌تحقیق نشده
❌بی مجازات مانده

قربانیان و خانواده‌‌ها به عدالت دست پیدا نکرده‌اند = مصونیت از مجازات

شورای حقوق بشر سازمان ملل باید در حمایت از مردم ایران قدم بردارد.
⁉️خب! شورای حقوق بشر سازمان ملل باید چه کند؟

1⃣ به صدای مردم ایران و کارشناسان حقوق بشر سازمان ملل گوش دهد
2⃣ تشکیل جلسه ویژه برای ایران
3⃣ تأسیس مکانیسم مستقل سازمان ملل برای تحقیق و تضمین پاسخگویی در مورد جدی ترین جنایات

این فیلم دلخراش آخرین لحظات زندگی شیرین علیزاده را در ۳۰ شهریور ثبت کرده است. او در حال فیلمبرداری از تیراندازی نیروهای بسیجی برای سرکوب اعتراضات در عباس آباد استان مازندران بود و در ماشین خود با اصابت گلوله‌ای به سرش کشته شد. #مهسا_امینی
شیرین علیزاده به همراه خانواده‌اش برای تعطیلات به شمال ایران رفته بود که کشته شد. نهادهای امنیتی و اطلاعاتی ایران خانواده عزادار او را در آستانه مراسم چهلم وی در روز جمعه ۱۳ آبان مورد آزار و اذیت قرار داده و به صورت ضمنی تهدید به مرگ کرده‌اند.
مقامات جمهوری اسلامی ایران باید فورا آزار و اذیت و ارعاب خانواده شیرین علیزاده را متوقف کنند. آنها همچنین باید به الگوی ضرب و شتم و تیراندازی علیه عزاداران پایان دهند و به بستگان داغدیده اجازه دهند تا مراسم چهلم عزیزان‌شان را بدون ترس از اقدامات تلافی‌جویانه برگزار کنند.

This horrific video records the last moments of Shirin Alizadeh's life on 21 Sep in Iran. She was shot dead when a bullet penetrated the window of her car. She was filming Basiji forces randomly shooting to suppress protests in Abbasabad, Mazandaran province.
#مهسا_امینی
Shirin Alizadeh was on holiday in northern Iran with her family when she was killed. Now, Iran's security and intelligence bodies have threatened to harm or even kill her bereaved relatives in advance of a memorial service set for Friday 4 Nov to mark 40 days after her death.
Iran's authorities must immediately stop the harassment and intimidation of Shirin Alizadeh’s family. They must also end the pattern of beating and shooting mourners and allow bereaved relatives to carry out 40th day memorial services without fear of reprisals.
