Inside Iran: Executions ramp up in targeting of political prisoners channel4.com/news/inside-ir…

The UK is closely tracking the dire situation for religious minorities in Iran. This includes abhorrent reports that Baha’is have been subject to torture and mock execution. We will continue to pursue accountability.






As #Passover and #Easter celebrate liberation from slavery and victory over death, many still face execution for their faith. #PeyvandNaimi, a young #Baha’i in #Iran, is being tortured and faces death on false charges. He needs our voice. Let us strive for his #Freedom. #IRFBA


Chair Hartzler: "Peyvand Naimi, an Iranian and member of the Iranian Baha’i faith, faces execution after being tortured and forced into false confessions via shame judicial proceedings. This is yet another brutal example of Iran’s crackdown on religious minorities."

🆘 Following my call to action to prevent executions in #Iran, I have been made aware of the case of Peyvand Naomi, a young Baha’i who is at imminent risk after two mock hangings. This comes after the recent execution of a Swedish citizen. This inhumane practice must end.

Peyvand Naimi is a young Baha’i prisoner in Kerman who has been tortured, including being subjected to two mock hangings, and was forced to film a false confession broadcast on state TV in February. Peyvand was accused of involvement in the deaths of 3 Basijis during the January protests, despite the fact that he was already in detention at the time. He has also been falsely accused of celebrating the death of Khamenei, an event he could not have known about given his lack of access to information in custody. His family fears these fabricated charges may be used to justify his execution for crimes he did not commit. en-hrana.org/mock-execution…

#PeyvandNaimi held in solitary confinement. Tortured, coerced into confession, denied due process & in threat of imminent execution. His case emblematic of thousands of abuses currently unfolding inside Iranian prisons, in the shadows of escalation. en-hrana.org/mock-execution… 1/2

جامعه جهانی بهائی در بیانیهای اعلام کرده است که پیوند نعیمی، شهروند بهائی که در زندانی در کرمان محبوس است «پس از تحمل دو بار اعدام نمایشی و شکنجه و بازجوییهای طولانی مدت، اکنون در معرض خطر جدی قرار دارد.» bbc.in/41seU7g
