The Iran Human Rights Organization (IHRNGO) announced on Saturday that the Supreme Court of Iran dismissed a retrial request for the Iranian Jew Arvin Nathaniel Ghahremani who is slated to be executed for allegedly killing an Iranian Muslim man in self-defense.
The London-based news organization Iran International reported the dire plight of Ghahremani.
Ghahremani is either 23 or 24-year-old, according to Beni Sabti, who was born in Tehran and is an Iran expert for the Institute for National Security Studies in Israel. The clerical regime arrested Ghahremani two years ago for the altercation with the Iranian Muslim man, Amir Shokri.
The regime enjoy executions, says expert
Iran International wrote, according to the IHRNGO, “the decision places Ghahremani at immediate risk of execution, underscoring a judicial process marred by oversight and lack of fair representation.”
Ghahremani’s family has stressed he only acted in self-defense. The Iranian Muslim man, Shokri, first attacked Ghahremani with a knife, according to reports. The Islamic Republic of Iran’s judicial system prioritizes the rights of Muslims over Jews, Christians, Baha’is and other religious and ethnic minorities who are not of the Muslim faith.
Sabti told the Jerusalem Post that “In these last days and weeks, there have been international efforts to release him and get the Muslim family to forgive him and turn the execution to a prison term.” He said “Jews in US and other countries raised funds amounting to over $1.5 million including an offer of an apartment, and the building of a mosque in name of the dead Muslim man. It seems that they did not agree.”
Sabti continued that “I am not surprised. Most of the time the regime and judiciary system do not cooperate with the person who is going to be executed. They enjoy it and do not care. They do not do anything to the change verdict.”
He noted that Iran’s regime makes no effort to reach the dead man’s family to convince them to spare the life of the person facing the death penalty. The Islamic Republic of Iran “enjoys the execution process.” Iran’s judicial process is widely considered one of the most barbaric legal systems, according to human rights groups.
Sabti stressed that “In any hour we can hear the news that he can be executed.” He said the regime’s ice-cold attitude can mean they execute without warning: judicial officials can “say to a family he will be executed on Wednesday and the family comes on Monday and they say he has already been executed. This is Iran.”
