Elias was a young Baloch man who was sentenced to death. He was transferred to solitary confinement in Zahedan prison and was executed a few hours ago.
The Islamic Republic is massacring people in Zahedan. No one knows how may have actually died and been executed.
@bellamonde @aftabkaran are not active. @edentheactivist 's Tumblr got deactivated. Previously, they used to post regular Updates regarding the situation and developments in Iran.
Probably Internet is completely shut down.
I hope all are alive and well.
Again, I will share the Names of people who were announced to be sentenced to Death, but were not at that time.
"Someone's crime was dancing with her hair in the wind. Someone's crime was that he or she was brave and criticized... 44 years of your government. It's the year of failure."

A young woman named Samira Sabzian is about to die.
She might have died already - she's been on death row for ten years, and her time might have just run out.
Samira was a child bride in Iran - she was married at 15 and, by 19, had given birth to two children. The regime of Iran is about to have her hanged, but by saying her name, you could help save her life. Please use the hashtags #savesamira and #samirasabzian - blog about her if you can, talk about her on social media if you can, spread the word if you can. Tag your mutuals here, tag any influencers you know or cool people you follow. Bit by bit, we can help make a difference, whether it be by raising awareness of her or helping ensure that she is remembered.

🚨 Mohsen Shekari, one of those arrested in recent protests, was executed in Tehran this morning.
According to the Islamic Regime's court reports, Mohsen Shekari tried to "block" Sattarkhan Street on October 3rd and also "injured" one of the regime thugs.
He was denied of having an designated attorney amid the court hearings, and the complete prepare of his capture and cross examination was opaque and against the lawful measures.
I'm begging you to repost and share as much as you can.
Hassan Firouzi’s life is in danger. He has endured horrendous torture. He was arrested late October. At the time of his arrest his new Iran daughter was only 18 days old. Hassan’s life matters and on this Christmas Day, let’s not forget his family. His daughter deserved to have a father in her life. Please post about Hassan on your social media. Today is a day of spreading love and what better way than to try to save a life.
LONDON -- The Islamic Republic of Iran said it executed three men Friday morning on charges of "waging war against God" and collaboration with terrorist groups.
The judiciary's website Mizan claimed that Majid Kazemi, Saleh Mirhashemi and Saeed Yaghoubi's charges were based on their confessions that they were involved in killing three members of the regime's forces during protests in Isfahan last November.
Protests in Isfahan and other cities across the country erupted in September after 22-year old Mahsa Amini who was arrested for not fully abiding with the mandatory hijab rule of the country died in police custody.
[ Three men Saleh Mirhashemi, Majid Kazemi and Saeed Yaghoubi are pictured at their trial Jan 9, 2023 in Tehran Iran. ]
At least 22,000 people had been arrested across the country in the ensuing protests, as the Islamic Republic News Agency confirmed. Iran Human Rights reported that at least 537 people were killed by the regime which never accepted the responsibility of what happened to Amini.
After Iran's Supreme Court upheld the execution sentences of Kazemi, Mirhashemi and Yaghubi, families of the men executed Friday and members of the Iranian public pleaded with international bodies to take any action to stop the Islamic Republic from carrying out the sentences.
Amnesty International said the men's fast-tracked trial was flawed and the pointed out there were significant procedural flaws, lack of evidence, and torture allegations that were never investigated.
In a last message that the three men reportedly signed and smuggled out of the prison, they asked the public to help them stop the regime from executing them.
"Hello, we ask you dear fellow citizens not to let them kill us. We need your help. We need your support," the message signed on May 17 reads.
In December, Mohsen Shekari was the first person hanged for alleged crimes related to the protests after allegedly holding up traffic and assaulting a guard. Less than a week later, 22-year-old Majid Reza Rahnavard, who had been convicted on charges of "waging war against God" amid protests, was executed.
According to the Iran Human Rights group, 13 executions were recorded on May 18 and at least 90 people have been executed since the start of the month.
United Nations Human Rights Chief Volker Turk said on May 9 that Iran is executing a "frighteningly" high number of people, with over 209 executed so far since January.
"On average so far this year, over 10 people are put to death each week in Iran, making it one the world's highest executors," said Türk.
Protests against the regime erupted across the country Friday in response to the executions.

"waging war against God"
This isn't just a curious turn of phrase...
https://quranx.com/5.33
Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment
... it's a divine justification for Islamic retribution. The claim that "tHiS hAs nOtHiNg tO dO wItH IsLaM!" slams rather heavily into the brick wall of reality.
More than 97% of Iranians are considered Muslim by their government, but as Oklahoma-based Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) notes, those numbers don’t reflect the increasing numbers who are reportedly leaving Islam and following Jesus Christ...
He was an activist with the Women, Life, Freedom movement.
He's about to be executed by the government of Iran, allegedly for murder of a government official...
...which he confessed to under torture.
Note also that, according to Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, "Rasaei was deprived of basic human rights throughout his detention, including access to legal representation and visitation."
This man deserves more than this. He deserves a second chance, he deserves someone who can stand up for him and make sure his side of the story is told without the haze and pressure of torture.
For now, the only resource I'm aware of is social media and a letter template created by Amnesty International which I have linked below. I'll try to find more resources, but for now, please share this information around using the hashtag #reza rasaei. Please.
Here's the letter template composed by Amnesty International:
Here's an article on him from Iran International:
And here's the article from Hengaw:
Thank you so much for reading. I'll try to collect more on this subject, and I'll house it on this blog under the tag #reza rasaei. Until then, I love y'all!
