Iran Protest: Iran’s judiciary has sentenced 23-year-old Majid Reza Rahnward to be hanged publicly. After this, on Monday (December 12), he was hanged at the crossroads in the middle of the city. The court convicted him on the charge of “enmity against God”. After this, human rights groups of Iran have warned that the death penalty is being given to the protesters without any proper judicial process. The hearing is being held only in appearance.
Mahmoud Amiri-Moghaddam, Norway-based director of Iran Human Rights, tweeted, “After a grossly unfair trial and show trial, Reynward was sentenced to death based on an coerced confession. This crime should have dire consequences for the Islamic State.” .”
They allowed #MajidRezaRahnavard‘s mother to visit him, and didn’t speak of execution at all. She left smiling and hoping that her son would be released soon.
