He was charged with \u201cmoharebeh\u201d (enmity with God), which the regime uses against dissidents. Rahnavard was sentenced to death five days after his arrest and without access to a lawyer. The regime executed him 23 days after his arrest and in defiance of international condemnation. Last week, the regime executed Mohsen Shekari (\u0645\u062d\u0633\u0646 \u0634\u06a9\u0627\u0631\u06cc), 23, another protester, on \u201cmoharebeh\u201d charges. The regime has killed over 700 civilians in recent uprisings. Over 30,000 others have been arrested. Dozens are under the threat of being executed. The international community must intervene to put an end to the Iranian regime\u2019s brutality. *** Content on the PMOI\/MEK&#039;s official YouTube channel is not subject to copyright if the source is mentioned ***\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Iran\u2019s uprising, about to enter its fourth month, is gearing into a new phase as regime Supreme Leader\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/who-is-ali-khamenei-the-supreme-leader-of-irans-regime\/z\">Ali Khamenei<\/a>\u00a0and the entire mullahs\u2019 apparatus are resorting to the brutality of executing people who have taken to the streets to practice their God-given right of freedom of assembly.
