In a move that has drawn widespread condemnation, the Iranian regime\u2019s judiciary executed Ahmad Alizadeh<\/a> for a second time on Wednesday, November 13, despite his initial survival after being hanged earlier this year. Alizadeh, convicted of murder, had previously been granted clemency by the victim\u2019s family after he was revived following an attempted execution. Nonetheless, authorities went forward with a second execution, underscoring the clerical regime\u2019s uncompromising adherence to punitive measures and a disregard for prior acts of forgiveness.<\/p>\n Alizadeh, who had spent seven years in prison after his conviction at age 20, had spoken out against the brutal treatment he received. In an audio recording circulated on social media, Alizadeh described his distress over being returned to death row. \u201cI have one death sentence, not a hundred,\u201d he stated, recounting how he was repeatedly taken to the gallows, only to be revived moments later. He claimed, “Once forgiveness is granted, it should not be reversed.”<\/p>\n Iranian rights groups have condemned the judiciary\u2019s actions, especially given reports that Alizadeh, described by a source as a \u201cgifted student,\u201d had denied the murder accusation, stating he was forced to confess under torture. This double execution has heightened concerns over the regime\u2019s systematic violations of human rights, especially in cases involving young prisoners and those allegedly coerced into confessions.<\/p>\n NCRI Statement: — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) November 13, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
