Iranian authorities must immediately halt any plans to execute 19-year-old Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh who has been detained since 9 Jan for taking part in protests in Rasht, Gilan province, and stop weaponizing the death penalty against protesters. According to @amnesty’s information, agents stormed Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh’s family home on 9 January and subjected him and his 2 sisters, one of whom is a 14-year-old child, to sexual violence in violation of the absolute prohibition on torture and other ill-treatment. The agents forcibly stripped Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh and his sisters naked in front of everyone present to inspect their bodies for metal pellets to “prove” their participation in the protests. They arrested him after finding the metal pellet wounds he sustained during protests on 8 Jan. According to an informed source, the authorities told him during a court session on 17 Jan that he is accused of “betraying his country” and sentenced to “death by hanging”. The authorities have informed his family that his execution is scheduled for 21 Jan. The authorities must immediately reveal Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh’s fate and whereabouts, after subjecting him to enforced disappearance since his arrest on 9 Jan. They must protect him from further torture and other ill-treatment & grant him access to adequate medical care. UN member states must urgently press Iranian authorities to halt all executions and end the deadly crackdown against protesters, the scale of which remains hidden amid the internet shutdown. The Iranian authorities must restore internet access to the people of Iran NOW.
