Protestant executed in Iran Iranian fascist Islamists executed protester

The judiciary's judiciary announced on Wednesday that Mostafa Salehi, one of the protesters arrested after nationwide protests in December 2017 and January 2018, has been executed in Najafabad, Isfahan province.

Mostafa Salehi was arrested after protests in Kahriz-Sang in Isfahan province. He was accused of shooting Sajjad Shah-Sanaei, a member of the Basij militia, with a shotgun.

The court's statement announcing his execution reveals no details other than the charges against him.

In December 2017 and early 2018, a large wave of regime-critical protests swept across Iran. Unlike the protests after the 2009 elections, these protests did not reflect the struggle between the different factions of the regime.

The FFFI has repeatedly reported that the most basic rights of the accused, including the right to legal representation, are grossly ignored in the Islamic Court. They also claim that many sentences are based on compelling confessions extracted through psychological and physical torture.

The news of impending executions of three young men for participating in November 2019 protests in July aroused international concern and many Iranians joined a very successful online campaign to stop the executions. These death sentences have been stopped for the time being after the successful campaign.
