The clock is ticking, and with it, hearts are trembling

The hearts of the three Ahwazi detainees, Ali Mojdam, Moein Khanfari, and Mohammad Reza Moqaddam, have been announced by the racist Persian occupation authorities as they are being transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for the execution of their death sentences.

The occupation authorities began their move on June 25th, after the occupation courts issued death sentences against them on flimsy charges related to incitement to overthrow the regime and rebel against the rule of the jurist.

Reports indicate that the occupation authorities are now dealing with the Ahwazi Arab people and other nationalities occupied by Iran's political geography with extreme violence and cruelty, after the strong Israeli strikes that struck the foundations of Khamenei's spider web.
The occupation authorities have begun to intensify their efforts to arrest non-Persian peoples, in addition to rushing to implement unjust sentences against activists opposed to the Iranian regime.

Immediately, a number of human rights organizations signed a petition and submitted it to international human rights organizations, rejecting the implementation of death sentences according to the rulings of the Iranian judiciary, which lack transparency and credibility.

Among the organizations that signed the statement: Kron Human Rights Organization, Iranian Human Rights Organization, Kurdistan Human Rights Association-Geneva, Hana Human Rights Organization, Ark Azerbaijani Human Rights Association, Kordba Human Rights Organization, A.O.H.R. Human Rights Organization, Ahwazi Center for Human Rights،Ahwazi Human Rights Organization (AHRO), Association for the Defense of Azerbaijani Political Prisoners in Iran (ADAP), Sheva Human Rights Organization.

Ali Mojaddam, Moin Khanfari, Mohammad Reza Moghaddam, Habib Daris, Adnan Ghabishawi (Mousavi), and Salem Mousavi were arrested by security forces in 2017 and 2018. They were sentenced to death by the Iranian occupation court in Ahwaz on charges such as "membership in and cooperation with the Struggle Movement group," "armed resistance to the regime," and "participation in the killing of several security personnel.

These death sentences were upheld by the country's Supreme Court despite numerous reports of torture, forced confessions, and unfair trials.
Iran Prison Atlas and HRANA, a news agency affiliated with the Iranian human rights activist group, have previously reported on flagrant violations of fair trial rights, physical and psychological torture, denial of access to independent counsel, and opaque judicial proceedings against these prisoners.

On Thursday, July 10, 2025, Mai Sato, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran, warned of the danger of implementing these sentences and called on Iran's political geography to immediately halt executions. She emphasized that imposing the death penalty for vaguely defined or politicized security crimes contravenes the principles of international law, as stipulated in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
