“After nights of restlessness you finally sleep. In the midst of it you hear your phone ringing. You reluctantly open your eyes. You can see that it’s early morning.
You pick up the phone.
A monotone voice begins to speak.
“Your son was executed this morning. We have buried him at this address.” They give you the address of your son’s grave and hang up.
You are left alone with thoughts raging in your head; barely registering the ringing sound after the phone call is finished.
You feel yourself sweating. Your breath quickens. You look around you. Looking for any sign that this was a lie, a nightmare.
Did he just say that they have hung your 22 y.o son? That’s impossible. Your son was alive just a few hours ago. You saw him. Hugged him. They didn’t say anything about this! He was supposed to compete in the wrestling matches after his release.
He was innocent.
You look around you again. The hand not holding the phone grasps the blanket, forms a fist. Everything turns black.”
This is what happened to Majidreza Rahnavard’s family this morning (12 Dec)…
They allowed Majidreza’s mother to visit him without mentioning anything about execution.
She left him thinking that her son would be released soon without knowing that that would’ve been the last time she hugged her son.
Please talk about this any way you can, these are victims of Iran's government. These people are going to be executed. I know I can't do much with my platform but I'm trying to get the message out there, please spread this! I don't care how, people need to here about this.
You on the internet already saved two people, one of them has already been executed, we don't have much time.
For everyone expecting cryptid content will get more eventually, but for now please spread the word!!
Use the hash tags, tell people, make posts, just do something, lives of people are in your hands. That could've been you if you were just born in a different place.
So please, help these people get a merry Christmas too
My next post will include more ways to help. Please act quickly, and bring justice to iran.
And to Majidreza Rahnavard, I'm so sorry you had to go like this. I wish him and his family well.
This Saturday, Iran is set to publicly execute MajidReza Rahnavard for the crime of attending a peaceful protest. This man has children that rely on him. In the past, the Islamic Republic hasn't executed prisoners who's names are well known, so we have to talk about him
Sepia photo of Mohammad Mehdi Karami with the quote: “Father, they sentenced us and I received the death sentence. Don't tell mother.”
Multiple people in Iran have been sentenced to death after sham trials and torture and others have already been executed. Circulating their names on Twitter and social media is one way to show Iran’s leaders that people are still watching internationally, condemning these executions and pushing their own leaders for change.
Please read this article to better understand the sham trials taking place in Iran, to understand its cruelty and inhumanity. Mohsen Shekari, Majidreza Rahnavard, Mohammad Mehdi Karami and Mohammad Hosseini should all be alive today but for these sham trials. We will never forget, we will never forgive.
