Fifteen human rights organizations have issued a joint statement urging immediate international intervention to stop the pending execution of three Ahwazi Arab political prisoners who were recently moved to solitary confinement.
Ali Majdam, Moein Khanfari, and Mohammadreza Moghadam were sentenced to death by Iranian authorities on charges of “armed rebellion”—charges widely criticized as politically motivated. According to reports from Ahvaz, the three men were transferred to solitary cells on June 26, a move often used by the regime as a prelude to execution.
The rights groups warned that the executions could take place at any moment, stressing the deeply flawed legal process behind the sentences.
“These individuals are at grave risk,” the joint statement said, “despite credible reports of coerced confessions, prolonged solitary confinement, and grossly unfair trials.”
The case has drawn growing concern among international observers and Ahwazi rights advocates, who say it reflects Tehran’s ongoing campaign to silence dissent in the marginalized Arab-majority region of southwestern Iran.
