Erfan Soltani, a 26-year-old man, faces the possibility of execution as soon as tomorrow, according to reports from the Hengaw Organisation for Human Rights. This alarming news comes merely six days after Soltani was arrested and taken to one of Iran’s most notorious detention centers.
Following his arrest, Soltani was transferred to Ghezel Hesar Prison, a facility that the Centre for Human Rights in Iran claims is notorious for its severe violence, torture, and executions. The prison has a dark reputation, raising serious concerns about Soltani’s treatment and the fairness of his sentencing.
A source close to Soltani’s family revealed that they were informed of his death sentence four days post-detention, leaving them shocked and desperate for answers. The judicial process appears to have moved swiftly, with little transparency.
Hengaw reported that the authorities have declared the death sentence as final, scheduling the execution for Wednesday, which is Thursday according to Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT). This leaves Soltani’s family with a limited window to say their goodbyes.
As the clock ticks down, the family has reportedly been given only a brief opportunity for a final visit, a moment likely filled with heartbreak and urgency as they bid farewell to Soltani.
“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.”
