Take Action! Urge Iranian authorities to halt the execution of Iranian-Kurdish citizens
Write to Iranian authorities and embassies worldwide expressing concern over the execution sentences of two Kurdish citizens, Zanyar Moradi and Loghman Moradi. Both were sentenced to death by public hanging on December 22, 2010. The verdict was passed down by Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, presided over by Judge Salavati, after a trial which reportedly lasted only 20-mintues. Both men faced dubious charges of moharebeh (enmity against god), for alleged involvement with the murder of the son of the Friday Prayer Imam in Marivan, and for membership in the Komala Party. On October 12, 2011 it was reported that the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the execution sentences.
