IRAN - Hasan Firouzi, arrested during the protests, is in danger of execution
December 21, 2022: Hasan Firouzi, one of those arrested during the protests, is in danger of execution. The prison officials told the family: the death sentence has been referred to the execution headquarters, “we will inform you one day before the execution”! According to an informed source, when Hassan Firouzi’s family went to Evin prison, they were told that the death sentence had been issued for Hassan. And it has been referred to the execution department and we will wait until his physical condition improves. Do not come again, we will inform you one day before the execution!” It is said that Hasan Firouzi was “tried” in a completely unfair manner and sentenced to death in Ray City Court in Sa’i Square. It is said that the prosecutor’s representative in Hassan Firouzi’s court is the same person who was also present as the prosecutor’s representative in Mohsen Shekari’s court. He was accused of “leading protests, preaching against the regime, disrupting security, etc.”. And with the same accusations, he has been sentenced to death. After being tortured, he was taken to the hospital for treatment on December 14. And despite the doctor’s prescription that he should undergo surgery, IRGC intelligence agents brutally attacked the hospital. And he was stolen from the hospital and transferred to the solitary cell of Evin prison. Due to the strong blows of the chair on Hasan Firouzi’s body, his left kidney has failed. Hasan suffered severe internal bleeding. But he was left in the solitary cell of Evin prison without medical treatment. And he may die at any moment. According to the news that received from the prison, Hassan’s hands and face badly injured and bruised. Finally, when the family went to Evin prison, they were told to leave here. His death sentence has been sent to the execution department and we will inform you one day before the execution. Hassan Firouzi has a baby named Hanane, who was 18 days old when he was arrested in October. On October 27, he was arrested in Tehran’s Enghelab Street and accused of “leading protests and propagandizing against the regime”. He was first released on bail and was arrested again on November 26 and tortured. Hassan announced in an audio file that all his belongings were stolen, and that the accusations against him were completely false. According to local witnesses, Hassan Firouzi’s house was sealed by the government agents, his family has been asked to evacuate and leave their house immediately. Also, Hassan Firouzi’s family was told that he tried to commit suicide in prison, but the prison officers stopped him. This is while Hasan had announced before his arrest that he did not intend to commit suicide and that he would try his best to survive for the sake of his daughter. Now Hassan Firouzi’s life is in serious danger of execution and his family is also in a very difficult situation. We ask all societies and human rights organizations and the United Nations Human Rights Council to take urgent action to stop the crime in Iran.
