Young people from the Iranian uprising attacked the General Directorate of Prisons in the Lorestan province, in western Iran, and burned the entrance to it, in protest at the execution of several of the detainees of the uprising.
Iran’s National Council of Resistance said in a statement on Saturday that youths in the uprising were targeting the General Directorate of Prisons in Lorestan, protesting the execution of Nawid Afkarri and Mustafa Salehi, and the death sentences. dictated against several youths of the uprising.
The council added, in the statement, of which Al-Ain News received a copy, that the General Directorate of Prisons is directly responsible for the torture and repression of thousands of prisoners in Lorestan province, and asked that the executioners who run the center are brought to justice for their crimes against humanity.
The statement indicated that the attack on the repression center was welcomed by citizens, many of whom were subjected to repression and torture within that center.
This is not the first time that the youth of the uprising has attacked the torture institutions in Iran. Previously, opponents attacked a court building in the southern city of Shiraz, which imposed the execution of fighter Nawid Afkar.
A statement issued by the PMOI in opposition to the Iranian regime revealed that the youths burned the entrance to the court building.
Naid’s execution sparked a wave of anger and condemnation among social media pioneers and international human rights organizations.
International human rights and sports organizations have called for sanctions to be imposed on the Iranian regime to implement a death sentence against the young fighter.
The United States and many Western countries strongly condemned the execution of the Romanian Youth Wrestling Championship runner-up in Iran, Naid Afkari, and described it as a “brutal and inhumane” act.
Nawed Afkari, a Romanian fighter from the southern city of Shiraz, and his two brothers, Wahid and Habib, and another young man named Said Dashtaki were tried and convicted for participating in popular protests that broke out in the summer of 2018.
The fighter, Naid Afkari, was sentenced to death for the murder of a security employee in the Shiraz Department of Water and Sanitation, and his two brothers and the fourth defendant were sentenced to long prison terms.
Hassan Yonsei, the lawyer for the Afkari family, previously said that “there was no document in court except for the forced confessions of the defendants to prove the crime attributed to them.”
The brothers mentioned my thoughts in audio leaks about two weeks ago that they had been tortured to extract forced confessions, as there is evidence of torture that was obtained by forensic medicine and showed signs of blows at 15 points on the body of my thoughts.
My thoughts recalled in a leaked audio recording shortly before his execution that he had been subjected to torture and solitary confinement in a place similar to a basement, and he reported to various judicial authorities that he was not convicted of first-degree murder.
Afkari’s lawyer claimed that the Iranian authorities did not respect his client’s right to attend a final hearing before the execution of his death sentence, considering that they had an execution cord ready and that they were looking for his neck.
Notably, Naid Afkari’s death sentence was carried out swiftly without prior notification to his family members, on September 12, and his body was buried that same night under strict security measures.
On the basis of this evidence, the execution of the Iranian fighter, Nawid Afkari, cannot be considered an implementation of a court ruling, but rather more than a “heinous crime”, UN experts said.
Five UN human rights experts issued a statement condemning Afkar’s execution, saying that “the Iranian government used the sports execution to terrorize the people.”
