Following his forced confession, Branch 1 of the regime\u2019s Revolutionary Court in Shiraz convicted Afkari for \u201cmoharebeh,\u201d or waging war on God, and sentenced him to death a second time.

The execution of Navid Afkari was summary and arbitrary, imposed following a process that did not meet even the most basic substantive or procedural fair trial standards, behind a smokescreen of a murder charge. We are appalled at these serious allegations of torture which have not been investigated, the broadcasting of his forced confession by state television, and the use of closed and secret trials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe course of events in Navid Afkari\u2019s case raise serious doubts about the veracity of the basis for the murder charge against him. The hastened secret execution, forced confession under torture as the sole evidence, closed trial and the lack of respect for the domestic requirements for reconciliation and the denial of a last family visit suggest that there was an attempt by the authorities to expedite his execution,\u201d the experts added.<\/p>\n<p>Following Navid Afkari\u2019s execution, Mrs. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/maryam-rajavi\/14237-maryam-rajavi\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the president-elect of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/our-resistance\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>, said: \u201cThe execution of Navid Afkari, however, will only add fuel to the flames of the Iranian people\u2019s uprising and will send the mullahs\u2019 regime to the dustbin of history. Our people will never forgive or forget this crime. Khamenei and his regime will not be able to evade the consequences of this cowardly murder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Rajavi once again reiterated: \u201cThe United Nations Security Council and its member states, the UN Human Rights Council, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the European Union and all international human rights authorities need to take practical, effective measures against the regime in Iran for the execution of Navid Afkari and 120,000 others executed on political grounds. Silence and inaction give a green light to and are construed as complicity in these crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five United Nations&rsquo; human rights experts, including Javaid Rehman, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, condemned the execution of Navid Afkari, an Iranian wrestling champion [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":226103,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,15],"tags":[130,141,198,204,240,243,246,249,255],"class_list":{"0":"post-226099","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-human-rights","9":"tag-iran-protests","10":"tag-human-rights","11":"tag-ncri","12":"tag-maryam-rajavi","13":"tag-iran-execution","14":"tag-iran-executions-2020","15":"tag-iran-opposition","16":"tag-iran-demonstrations","17":"tag-iran-protests-2018"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
