How to Help:

Reach out to your senators, parliament members and other representatives and request an immediate action to put pressure on the Islamic Republic. Ask them to give political sponsorship to our revolution prisoners who are at the risk of death penalty at any moment. Help us to stop this crime by raising political cost of executions for the Islamic regime!

Sample Letter:

To Whom It May Concern,

The Iranian people have been protesting in support of freedom, human rights, minority rights, and women’s rights to self-expression since September 16th. The Islamic Republic of Iran’s (hereafter referred to as the regime) has responded with a deadly crackdown; using military artillery to kill hundreds of their citizens across Iran. Hundreds have been murdered and thousands arrested, tortured, or raped. This includes at least 60 children under the age of 17 who got killed in the last 3 months.

The brutal crackdown on Iranian protesters has entered a whole new level. On December 8th, Mohsen Shekari, one of the imprisoned protestors, was executed without due process, having access to an independent lawyer and the chance to request an appeal. Majidreza Rahnavard is the second protester to be executed on December 11th, and the first to have his body displayed publicly, as the regime is seeking to spread fear to crush the national uprising. These two victims are not the only ones. There are hundreds who are about to receive the death penalty by the regime. (More information about protestors who are sentenced to death) [1], [2].

The regime officials have made it clear that they intend to execute several more to set an example. Innocent lives are being taken as scare tactics by a murderous regime and they will not stop unless they are forced to [3]. Today can be the last day for Saman Seydi (aka Saman Yasin) and Mahan Sadrat Madani if you do not do anything.

Norbert Röttgen, Ye-One Rhie, Carlos Kasper, and Martin Diedenhofen, members of the German Bundestag, were announced to be political sponsors/advocates for a few of the arrested protesters who were sentenced to death. The support of politicians is enormously important. When elected representatives publicly stand up for a political prisoner, more attention is drawn to a fate. Their advocacy is picked up by the media and this publicity is protection for innocent detainees.

We, Iranians, urge you to take prompt action to stop this massacre. This includes:

Step forward for political sponsorships/advocacy for the imprisoned prisoners whose life is in grave danger.

Publicly urging all countries to expel all the regime’s diplomats and recall their ambassadors from Tehran.

Impose immediate sanctions against Supreme Leader, Khamenei, as head of the regime and all entities associated with him and designate him as a terrorist entity.

Asking the United Nations to take immediate action to respond to human rights violations against the innocent prisoners in Iran. We demand the UN experts to monitor the situation closely and call on authorities to engage special procedures to stop execution.


Thank you for your time and attention to this timely sensitive matter!

Know him More:

Mohammad Mehdi was kidnapped on November 5th under the pretext of the death of a Basiji.
He has been sentenced to death by a Revolutionary Court in Karaj, Alborz province. The sentence was issued despite serious indications of torture and forced confession.

Mehdi is facing the death penalty in a grossly unfair sham trial without due process.
According to informed sources, he has been subjected to severe physical, sexual, and psychological torture, and authorities are using his torture- tainted forced “confessions” as evidence. His death sentence could be carried out at any moment.

When he received his death sentence he called his dad: “I received my sentence! It’s execution! Don’t tell mom.“

The father of #MohammadMehdiKarami, 21 yo protester sentenced to death, says his son was not allowed to have a chosen attorney and the one designated by the Iranian govt doesn’t even answers his phone. His family asked Mr Aghasi to represent him in the court, but the court refused him as his lawyer. Mohammad and dozens of other protesters are tried without their lawyers.
He reiterates that his son is innocent but their voice is not being heard.
