Erfan Soltani, 26, could be killed as early as tomorrow, just six days after he was detained at one of Iran’s most infamous prisons, Hengaw Organisation for Human Rights says.
After his arrest, Soltani was taken to Ghezel Hesar Prison, where the Centre for Human Rights in Iran alleges extreme violence, torture, and executions have taken place.
A source close to the family said he has been sentenced to death, and that they only found out about his execution four days after he was detained.
“Authorities informed them the death sentence is final and will be carried out on Wednesday [Thursday AEDT],” Hengaw said.
“The family has reportedly been granted only a brief opportunity for a final visit prior to the execution.”
“Erfan Soltani has been deprived of his most basic rights, including access to legal counsel, the right to defense, and other fundamental due process guarantees,” Hengaw said.
Trump says ‘help is on the way!’
“Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!” he wrote on Truth Social.
“Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS.
It is unclear what help Trump is proposing to give to protesters in Iran.
Speaking at Andrews Air Force Base, he said the Iranian government needed to show humanity.
“They’ve got a big problem. And I hope they’re not going to be killing people,” he said.
“It would seem to me that they have been badly misbehaving, but that is not confirmed.”
