When Iran's regime sentenced PMOI member Vahid Bani Amerian to death, he did not cower or beg for his life. He defied the regime and death itself with a powerful statement: "Be certain of this: even if you execute me and people like me, we will multiply, even if you hide our bodies. And be certain of this too: your regime will have no way to escape overthrow." 1/7

🚨Iran: Futsal Coach Who Chanted “Death to Khamenei” Sentenced to 6 Years Political prisoner Hamid Haj Jafar Kashani, currently held in Greater Tehran Prison, was sentenced to 6 years for “assembly and collusion against national security” and “propaganda against the system.” He was last arrested in January 2026 in front of Aladdin Mall in Tehran. He had previously been imprisoned and tortured. Haj Jafar Kashani is the same activist who went viral in April 2025 after holding a placard on Kargar Street that read: "Until the mullahs are in their shrouds, this homeland won’t be a home.” In the video he is also seen chanting “Death to Velayat-e Faqih” and “Death to Khamenei.”

I should have added this powerful photo at the end of the tribute clip. Vahid Bani-Amerian (3rd from left) and his dear friend Pouya Ghobadi (2nd from right) with their fellow political prisoners, singing a resistance song together in the prison yard. This clip went viral internationally and was widely covered by major outlets. Tragically, all the men in this photo were later executed by the regime.
