Mahsa (‘Zhina’) Amini has become a symbol of resistance that has united the people of Iran following her fatal assault by the Iranian regime's morality police, with protesters explicitly calling for regime change.The Iranian regime is continuing to unleash its brutal reign of terror with impunity by murdering and arresting protesters (including children and teenagers) and must be held accountable for its massacre of Iranians.

YOUR SILENCE FEEDS VIOLENCE...

We appeal for an URGENT global action to STOP the execution of protesters in Iran.


Iranian protestors urgently need your help. Be their voice and email your local MPs, Ministers, PM to:


  • urgently and strongly react to Mohsen Shekari’s execution to prevent the mass executions of protesters in Iran,

  • list IRGC as a terrorist entity, and

  • stop all diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran.



On 8 December 2022, Islamic regime in Iran executed Mohsen Shekari, a detained protester, for an alleged crime stemming from the country’s ongoing protests. 23-year-old Mohsen was convicted of ‘Moharebeh’ (enmity against God) for allegedly wounding a member of a paramilitary force (Basiji), often deployed to quell protests, and blocking a street in Tehran during protests. The death penalty was executed in rush, when the whole process—from the arrest to execution—took less than ten weeks, with no chance for Mohsen to have access to his lawyer or meet his family for the last time.

Nationwide protests that erupted after the death of 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, on 16 September have faced the Islamic Republic with one of its biggest challenge since its establishment in 1979.

According to the Human Rights Activists news Agency, so far more than 475 protesters have been killed in protests by security forces and 18,240 others have been detained. Dozens of detained protesters face charges or have been convicted of charges that carry the death penalty according to Iran’s Islamic laws without carrying a real and fair trial, often with no defense lawyers, and behind closed doors.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) praised the judiciary’s decision urging it to decisively issue verdicts against “defendants accused of crimes against the security of the nation and Islam”. Many believe such remarks, following the calls for three-day nationwide strikes and protests (6-8 December 2022), are to scare the demonstrators to stop their movement to oust regime.
