Dear Mr Raisi,

I am writing to ask for your urgent intervention to halt the executions of three men, Amirhossein Moradi, Mohammad Rajabi and Saeed Tamjidi. They were sentenced to death in connection with the nationwide protests that took place in November 2019. Iran’s judiciary spokesperson accused them of being “riot leaders”.

Mohammad Rajabi and Saeed Tamjidi have said they were kicked, hung upside down and repeatedly beaten. Amirhossein Moradi has said that interrogators tortured him through beatings, electric shocks and standing on his chest. His “confessions”, which he has said were given under torture, were used as evidence by the court to convict all three.
 
I demand: 
•    The convictions and death sentences of Amirhossein Moradi, Mohammad Rajabi and Saeed Tamjidi are immediately quashed;
•    They are given a fair retrial without recourse to the death penalty; and
•    Their torture allegations are investigated and those suspected of responsibility are brought to justice.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,
