We urgently request immediate intervention to prevent the execution of Mojahed Korkor.
We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the potential execution of Mojahed Korkor by the Islamic Republic of Iran. We urge you to take immediate and effective action to save his life. Mojahed Korkor, a native of Izeh in Khuzestan province, was arrested on December 20, 2022, on charges of shooting civilians during the November 2019 protests in Izeh, including the murder of nine-year-old Kian Pirfalak. Witnesses state that Kian's tragic death occurred in his father's car, which was fired upon by government security forces.
Kian Pirfalak's family has repeatedly testified that security and law enforcement officers were responsible for the shooting at their car and Kian's subsequent death on the evening of November 16, 2019. They have expressed that they hold no grievances against Mojahed Korkor. Despite this, Mojahed Korkor remains in prison and faces the risk of execution.
Mojahed Korkor's sister, Negar, has conveyed her brother's distressing situation through messages received from inside the prison, pleading for people to advocate for her brother's innocence. Mojahed Korkor's message from prison, themed "Help me, save me," highlights the urgent and critical nature of his situation.
