21 year old Amir Reza Arefi Sentenced to Death as "moharebeh" | #HumanRights #Iran

The 15th branch of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran sentenced the 21-year-old, Amir Reza Arefi, to death.

RAHANA Prisoners’ Rights Unit – The 15th branch of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran found Amir Reza Arefi guilty of Moharebeh, and based on articles 186, 187, 189, 190, 191 and 46 of the Islamic Penal Law sentenced him to death.  The 21-year-old Arefi is married and was arrested before the June presidential election on April 15th, 2009.
Mohammad Mostafaie who represents Arefi, wrote on his blog. “On Sunday, February, 14, I was asked over the phone to go to the 15th branch of the Revolutionary Court on Tuesday, for a matter related to my client Amir Reza Arefi. The fact that I had been summoned over the phone worried me. Today I went to the court and reviewed Arefi’s ruling. The 15th branch of the Revolutionary Court has found my 21-year-old client guilty of Moharebeh for his alleged membership in the Anjoman Padeshahi (an exiled monarchist group) and based on articles 186, 187, 189, 190, 191 and 46 of the Islamic Penal Law, has sentenced him to death.
Mostafaie and his client have 20 days to file an appeal.
On January 28th, 2010, Arash Rahmanipour and Mohammad Reza Alizamani were secretly executed, after being found guilty of Moharebeh over their alleged tied to the Anjoman Padeshahi

We have to repeat this every hour of day - STOP EXECUTIONS!
