Iranians call on government to stop executions in online campaign
Iran is under pressure to halt the executions of 3 men who were arrested during anti-government protests in 2019
Iranians have taken to social media using the Persian hashtag meaning “No to execution”, to protest the death sentences of three men for their involvement in nationwide protests over rising fuel prices last November.
The campaign was launched yesterday after the death sentences of Amirhossein Moradi, 25, Mohammad Rajabi, 25, and Saeed Tamjidi, 27, were upheld by an Iranian court.
The hashtag quickly gained traction, according to analysts, and attracted Iranians from all sectors of society in remarkable numbers. At the time of writing, the hashtag had been tweeted six million times and been engaged with on Instagram ten million times
