US Warns About the Possible Execution of 19-Year-Old Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh

The Persian page of the US State Department issued a warning about the potential execution of 19-year-old Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh, calling for an immediate halt to the execution of this sentence. The US State Department's Persian page on the social media platform X stated on Wednesday, January 21, 1404 (January 10, 2025): The death sentence for Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh, 19, for peaceful protest, shows how far the Iranian regime goes to silence the voices of the people of Iran. In a country where nearly 50% of the population is under 30 years old, the regime prefers to execute its youth rather than listen to them. A regime that shows no mercy to its youth clearly indicates that no one in Iran is safe from this regime's violence. We urge Iranian officials to immediately halt the execution of Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh, release all those imprisoned for peaceful protests, and respect the fundamental rights of their people. Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh, a 19-year-old protester, is at risk of execution. He was arrested during protests in Rasht and is a player for the Sepahan Isfahan football team. According to reports, he was shot with a pellet gun during the protests and was arrested two days later at home. Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh's family claims that the death sentence was communicated to him verbally and is set to be carried out on January 21. Amnesty International also warned about the potential execution of Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh on Tuesday night, urging the Islamic Republic to immediately stop any plans to carry out the execution of the 19-year-old protester. This warning from Amnesty International comes amid claims of a halt to executions, while the Islamic Republic continues to secretly prosecute protesters. Previously, Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, had warned the Islamic Republic about the massacre of protesters and the potential execution of detainees. New images have emerged showing the extent of the crackdown and the shooting of security forces at protesters in Iran. A member of the US Congress stated: Putin and Khamenei are the cancers of the civilized world. Donald Trump: The military option regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran has not been ruled out.
