Execution halted for Mahmoud Mehrabi, human rights activist
Mahmoud Mehrabi, a human rights activist, was arrested in 2022 for his social media activities, where he publicly criticized the regime and worked to inform the international community about the political situation in Iran. In May 2024, he was sentenced to death for his activism and public opposition to the Iranian government. During his imprisonment, Mehrabi endured constant psychological and physical torture.
International efforts to overturn the death sentence
After months of intensive efforts and thanks to the broad support of the international community and human rights activists, Mahmoud Mehrabi’s death sentence has been suspended. This achievement marks a significant victory for human rights defenders around the world. Leading figures, including Nobel laureates and numerous international organizations, played a pivotal role in advocating for the suspension of his execution and putting pressure on the Iranian regime.
Global call for justice
The global outcry over Mehrabi’s death sentence underscores the importance of international advocacy in preventing unjust executions in Iran.
