Amnesty International emphasized that global action is now needed and called on Iran’s regime to halt any plans to carry out the executions.
Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani are at imminent risk of execution after an extremely unfair trial tainted by torture and other ill-treatment used to extract “forced confessions.”
Iranian authorities must stop their execution and release them immediately.
Iranian Regime’s Contradictory Justifications for Executing Political Opponents
According to Amnesty International, Mehdi Hassani said that the Supreme Court of Iran’s regime rejected his lawyer’s request to appeal the death sentence issued by the lower court.
Amnesty International also reported that the second judicial appeal filed by Behrouz Ehsani’s lawyer has likewise been rejected.
Amnesty International released further details of the shocking and severe violations of fair trial rights in the cases of Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, including allegations of torture and their extremely unfair five-minute trial held in September 2024 in the regime’s Revolutionary Court.
