This broke my heart. 💔 The Islamic Republic of Iran hanged Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi this morning, a 23-year-old Afghan refugee who had fled to Iran seeking safety, and whose only crime was opening his door to let terrified protesters in as they ran from security forces. He was arrested, thrown into a show trial alongside 58 others. All proceedings were compressed into three one-hour sessions. Lawyers were denied access to case files. Confessions were extracted under torture. The Supreme Court confirmed the sentences in a rush. This morning, they hanged him. He was a refugee. He came to Iran because Taliban ruined, his life, Iran was supposed to be his refuge. Instead, the Islamic Republic executed him for the most human thing a person can do; open a door for someone who is afraid. I am his voice. Please say his nam, his family is under pressure to keep quiet.

Address to the Conference: “Iran Beyond War, the Power of the People as the Solution” What is the Solution to the Iranian Crisis? Without a doubt, the solution lies neither in clinging to the present status quo by preserving this regime, nor in retreating to the past by reviving the deposed dictatorship of the Shah. The true solution lies in looking forward to the establishment of a democratic republic. Both the current and former regimes foundered on a historical and political dead-end, making their continuation fundamentally impossible. #FreeIran10PointPlan
