Mohammad is only 27, and a judge decided that’s how he should die for protesting the brutal regime in Iran. We’re running out of time: Mohammad could be executed any day, and he’s already been tortured in prison. But there might still be hope: Global pressure stopped executions in Iran before. Now people around the world are joining the call to save his life, and prominent lawyers are asking the UN rights chief and key governments to help stop his execution and hold Iran accountable. Add your name now to help make his case famous and pressure key governments and the UN to speak up against Iran’s horrific execution program. Sign and share now. [Join the call to stop Mohammad’s execution!]( Mohammad’s passion is boxing, and he’s one of the champions of his club in Mashhad, Iran’s second largest city. When he was 23, he traded punches for principles – he became a political prisoner when he was arrested for joining the 2019 anti-government protests. Now his biggest fight begins: not in a ring, but for his own life. When historic protests followed Mahsa Amini’s death in police custody last year, Iran’s ruthless regime unleashed a violent crackdown to crush the uprising. Torture and executions of prisoners soon became its most vicious tool of repression – some were sentenced to death within two months and executed within weeks. Now it’s Mohammad’s turn. We can’t turn our backs on the people of Iran when we know that public pressure could help save lives. A public outcry against Mohammad's execution isn't just about saving his life: it's about showing Iran the world hasn't forgotten about the regime's deadly repression. So let's gather a million signatures calling to end these cruel executions now: [Join the call to stop Mohammad’s execution!]( Our movement has helped save lives before: last year over a million of us helped stop Amal’s death by stoning in Sudan. And hundreds of thousands of us have stood in solidarity with Iran’s protesters as they face brutal and often deadly crackdowns. All around the world, our solidarity can become the lifeline Mohammad needs right now.
