Iran Sentences Three Young Protesters to Death 😡

Iran Human Rights News Agency reported that the Supreme Court of Iran has upheld the death sentences of three young men who were arrested by security forces during the November 2019 protests. The three defendants in the case, all of them in their twenties, have been accused of affiliation with the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) which Iran has designated as a terrorist organization but have always denied the charges. Security forces identified Amir-Hossein Moradi from CCTV footage during the protests. He was arrested, beaten, held in solitary confinement, tortured, and coerced to appear on state-run television to "confess" that he had set fire to banks and gas stations and damaged public property. The two others, Mohammad Rajabi and Saeed Tamjidi, fled to Turkey. Despite producing ample evidence of being in danger for participating in the protests, Turkish security forces deported them to Iran where they were immediately arrested.
