Be sure to take a look at this interactive map from @AssoECPM, highlighting death penalty trends in Iran and the wider MENA region.
Why have so many of Iran's northern neighbors - many of them Muslim-majority states - banned the practice? #WhyExecute

A first in the history of advocacy to stop executions! The hashtag "don't execute" has been used close to 2 million times. Participation from Iran is high enough to prompt internet disruption. We need non Iranians to join in so that authorities hear us.

NEW: Three people have been issued death sentences after being arrested during the November #IranProtests.
Amirhossein Moradi, Saeed Tamjidi and Mohammad Rajabi have been sentenced to death. Reports indicate they were subjected to torture, mistreatment, and forced confessions.
@AmnestyIran: "The trial of the three men, which took place on 5-6 January 2020, was grossly unfair."

Three prisoners in Iran -Amirhossein Moradi, Mohammad Rajabi, Saeed Tamjidi -have been sentenced to death in connection w/protests in November 2019. Authorities accused them of committing acts of arson. Their trial was unfair & they say they were tortured https://t.co/S9lsXR44Nk
There was never any evidence that Zahra, a dual Dutch and Iranian citizen, ever harmed anybody.
Nine years ago, she was taken to the gallows and killed. We remember her today:

Before the day ends, we would like to honor Dr. King on #MartinLutherKingJrDay by remembering his words.
"Capital punishment is against the best judgment of modern criminology and above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God."

Siavash was killed 38 years ago today after a grossly unfair trial.
His captors told his 9-year-old daughter: 'I have good news. We killed your father.'
Siavash lives on. We remember him today. #WhyExecute

10 months after his arrest, Malek was executed in Ahvaz.
His family never received his body. Security agents attended his wake to prevent people from attending and offering condolences to his family. They still don't know where he's buried.

Ali's wife was arrested with him when she was 8 months pregnant. She gave birth to their daughter in prison.
It is not known if Ali ever met his daughter. Authorities killed him and several #Ahwazi Arab activists when she was 9 months old.

Mosleh and his girlfriend had emphasized before the judge that they had sexual intercourse with mutual consent.
The judge did not accept their claim, saying “He should be executed to serve as a lesson for other Iranian young people."

Iranian authorities must be held accountable for the swift and disproportionate response. At least 143 deaths and many mre injured. Without a strong int response, the death toll will rise, including w a new wave of politically-motivated sumry executions #Whyexecute #IranPortests
We are glad to see the inclusion of Resolution 7 calling for an end to the abhorrent practice of killing juvenile offenders, both those under 18 and those above 18 who committed crimes as children. #WhyExecute

Babak was hanged 18 years ago today.
He had a history of addiction & mental illness and was working as a servant in a factory.
Did killing him bring back his victim? What does his execution accomplish? #WhyExecute

Our report lists victims from the 1980s until now. Iran is still executing people like Bahram who were children at the time of their crimes. We join the international community in calling on Iran to put a stop to this practice immediately. #WhyExecute

A Sunni Kurd from Sanandaj, Bahram was the youngest of 9 children. He was a high school student when he was arrested at his family home. He was never charged with violent crimes nor is there any evidence he ever harmed anybody.

In Iran's own history, the "eye for an eye" death penalty was not practiced for 50+ years. Yet it is practiced today.
Which parts of history is Larijani selectively choosing from and why? #WhyExecute
https://t.co/y1U2yPqeFG
Iranian authorities would like to claim that lex talionis, or an "eye for an eye" is an essential, divine part of native religion and culture.
But is that really the case?
