Four-minute read<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The machinery of death in Iran moves with a cruel and predictable velocity. On May 27, 2026, the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) issued a dire warning<\/a>: the regime\u2019s Supreme Court has\u00a0finalized\u00a0the death sentence of 38-year-old political prisoner, laborer, and dissident poet Amin (Peyman)\u00a0Farahavar. His crime? The ultimate offense in the eyes of a terrified\u00a0totalistic\u00a0state\u2014refusing to bow, supporting the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), and daring to write verses that expose the rotting core of the ruling theocracy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amin, known to his readers under the literary pseudonym Peyman, is currently trapped within the walls of Lakan Prison in Rasht. He is facing the medieval, fabricated charges of\u00a0<\/span>Baghi<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(armed rebellion) and\u00a0<\/span>Moharebeh<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(enmity against God).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To look closely at Amin\u2019s case is to look directly into the anatomy of Iranian state terror. Convicted originally in May 2025 by a notorious judicial henchman, Ahmad Darvish-Goftar<\/a>, Amin\u2019s trial lacked even the superficial illusion of due process; he was condemned to death without a lawyer present. Over the last year, as the regime scrambled to suppress widespread domestic dissent, every legal avenue was systematically dismantled. In early May 2026, his final request for a retrial was rejected. He now stands in the shadow of the gallows.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the regime has not just\u00a0sought\u00a0to break Amin\u2019s spirit through legal lynching; they are actively breaking his body. Suffering from severe complications and agonizing pain following gallbladder surgery, Amin experienced internal bleeding during brutal interrogation sessions. In an act of calculated, slow-motion torture, prison authorities have systematically deprived him of vital medical treatment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Peyman (Amin) Farahavar is under sentence of death & at grave risk of execution in Iran following an unfair trial in relation to his real or perceived links with banned opposition groups. Amid rising arbitrary executions, urgent diplomatic action is needed to halt executions. 1\/2 pic.twitter.com\/Z6t5zmAu8s<\/a><\/p>\n
