Stop the execution of Omid Behzad
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing about Omid Behzad, who is held in prison in Iran and faces the death penalty (Executed).
I urge you to call on the Iranian authorities to halt this execution at once, quash the death sentence, and grant Omid Behzad a fair retrial without recourse to the death penalty, with a lawyer of their choice and no use of forced confessions.

A death sentence is a status, not a permanent fact about a person. Every case has a check date and a source, and the earlier status is kept. An execution is recorded only with two independent rights-group or news sources, or with an editor’s written reason.
