Honoring Mohammad Javad Vafaei Sani means standing with every political prisoner in Iran.
From the Shah’s prisons to the mullahs’ gallows, generations of young Iranians have paid a terrible price for demanding freedom.
IAC‑Texas urges world leaders to speak out against executions, demand the release of political prisoners, and stand with Iranians fighting for a democratic republic.

The Magnitsky Award for Mohammad Javad Vafaei
By remaining steadfast in his commitment to the ideals of the Mojahedin — freedom and independence for Iran — Mohammad Javad provoked the wrath of religious fascism and was willing to face execution rather than abandon his principles.
Today, not only the people of Iran, but the world stands with him.
145 consecutive weeks. 66 prisons. Iran's political prisoners are still striking every Tuesday against the death penalty... even as the regime keeps hanging people to silence them.
This week's toll: Amirhossein Maleki and Amirhossein Ebrahimi were executed in Isfahan's Dastgerd Prison, bringing the Ali Khani Square case death toll to nine, per Iran News Update. https://t.co/r2CBp8dghG
The decision by @GMJCampaign to award 2026 Magnitsky Award for Outstanding Human Rights Activist to Mohammad Javad Vafaei Sani is a significant human rights event. Honouring a political prisoner facing execution highlights his courage & urgency for global action to save his life.

This is how the world community can really help Iranian regime’s victims
Honoring Mohammad Javad Vafaei Sani, Iranian boxing champion on death row for protesting the barbaric regime is the model: name the genuine cases, amplify them & apply sustained pressure.

Remembering Dr. Hossein Fatemi, hero of Iran’s nationalization of oil, executed on November 10, 1954, at just 35 years old by order of the Shah.
As Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq’s Foreign Minister, Fatemi was a man of noble courage who remained fiercely loyal to him and the anti-colonial movement until his death.
Without the infamous 1953 coup and Fatemi’s execution, Iran and the Middle East would look vastly different today, spared from decades of brutal tyranny.

Zou u alles riskeren om corruptie aan het licht te brengen? Sergei Magnitsky deed het. Deze Russische advocaat overleed in 2009 in de gevangenis nadat hij miljoenenfraude door de overheid aan het licht had gebracht.

"Freedom in Iran is the goal: a democratic republic free from both monarchical and clerical dictatorship. Let’s be clear: supporters of the former Shah’s son had no meaningful presence opposing the regime at the UN. Their force is largely a cyber army." (Via @no2censorship on X)

محمدجواد وفاییثانی، بوکسور ایرانی و زندانی سیاسی، که به اعدام محکوم شده، برنده جایزه فعال حقوق بشر «ماگنیتسکی» ۲۰۲۶ شد.
او با حکم اعدام قوه قضائیه جمهوری اسلامی به اتهام افساد فی الارض و عضویت در سازمان مجاهدین خلق روبهروست.
آقای وفاییثانی، که بهدلیل شرکت در اعتراضات سراسری آبان ۱۳۹۸ بازداشت شد، اتهامهای خود را رد کرده است.
بر اساس اطلاعات منتشرشده درباره پرونده او، وفاییثانی پس از بازداشت با شکنجههای جسمی و روانی، حبس طولانیمدت در سلول انفرادی و تهدیدهای به اعدام روبهرو بوده است.
جوایز ماگنیتسکی به نام و یادِ سرگئی ماگنیتسکی، وکیل روسی، نامگذاری شدهاند؛ که پس از افشای یک طرح گسترده فساد دولتی، در بازداشت پلیس روسیه جان باخت.
این جوایز در سال ۲۰۱۵ با هدف قدردانی از روزنامهنگاران، سیاستمداران و فعالان شجاع در عرصه حقوق بشر بنیانگذاری شد.
Yesterday, along with other UN Mandate Holders, I issued a press statement expressing grave concern over the escalating attacks on the right to legal defence in Iran and the growing pressure exerted on lawyers who are simply carrying out their professional duties.
Between September 2025 and September 2026, at least 135 lawyers reportedly faced judicial or security measures, while at least 23 were reportedly arrested following the January 2026 protests.
Lawyers have faced intimidation, harassment, prosecution and other forms of retaliation merely for representing clients, defending human rights and fulfilling their professional responsibilities. Such practices constitute a serious assault on the independence of the legal profession and undermine the very foundations of the rule of law.
We are also concerned about human rights lawyer Amirsalar Davoudi, who was arrested after appearing before the Isfahan Revolutionary Court for his clients, and has remained in detention since then with concerning reports regarding his health.
No lawyer should face threats, punishment or persecution for doing their job. The ability to provide legal representation, defend individuals and challenge unlawful conduct is not a privilege: it is an essential safeguard of justice and a fundamental component of the right to a fair trial.
Iran must immediately end the persecution and intimidation of lawyers, safeguard the independence of the legal profession and bar associations,, and uphold its international human rights obligations.
The right to legal defence must be protected, not punished.
