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.

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.

On October 12, 2011 it was reported that the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the execution sentences.
