These seven young men were sentenced to death on charges of “moharebeh”;

A sentence issued in the space of one night, but it could silence seven lives forever.

Let us be their voices.

Ongoing US and Israeli air strikes near prisons, as well as the targeting of security facilities where detainees are held, are placing prisoners, including children, at risk. Iranian authorities’ refusal to release all those arbitrarily detained and grant humanitarian release to others imprisoned is knowingly placing those prisoners at risk of death or serious harm. Some prisoners have been transferred to unidentified locations or areas near potential military objectives, intensifying concerns for their safety. Authorities are also subjecting prisoners to enforced disappearance and denying them access to adequate food and water.

Iranian authorities must immediately release those arbitrarily detained, including for financial debt, and to grant humanitarian release to other prisoners, especially pre-trial detainees; those convicted of minor, non-violent offences; and those eligible for conditional release, and to disclose the fate and whereabouts of all prisoners to their families. They must also fulfil Iran’s obligation under international humanitarian law to remove, to the extent feasible, all prisoners and other civilians from the vicinity of military objectives. Iranian authorities must also take all necessary measures to protect the right to life and health of all prisoners, end torture and other ill-treatment, ensure access to adequate food, water and medical care, and treat all prisoners humanely in line with international standards. They must also retore full internet access immediately, and Amnesty International urges them to grant access to international monitors.
