This escalating crackdown on dissent by the Iranian regime is a grave violation of human rights and comes amid a rise in death sentences in recent weeks. We call on the regime to halt these executions immediately and uphold justice and human dignity. Stand with Abolhassan Montazer, Pouya Ghobadi, Vahid Bani-Amrian, Babak Alipour, Ali Akbar Daneshvarkar, and Mohammad Taghavi. Their lives depend on it.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
