Today, the regime in Iran executed Arvin Kheirkhah, a courageous young protester detained during Iran’s Lion and Sun National Uprising.
He was only 20 years old.
In his final conversation with his family, Arvin told them:
“Don’t let them forget me. We stood up for the liberation of our homeland.
Don’t let the path we chose be silenced.”
Other detainees from the Lion and Sun National Uprising, including Javad Ajam, Morteza Zamani, Mehdi Ranjar, Farshid Rahmani, Alireza Sagheri, and Pouya Sagheri, are also at risk of execution.
We must speak their names and raise our voices before it is too late.
Those who took Arvin’s life will be held accountable before the Iranian people and the law.
