In the early hours of this morning, in a public square in Isfahan, the regime in Iran, executed two more young protestors, heroes from the Lion and Sun uprising in January: Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani and Amirhossein Safari Hosseinabadi. This growing wave of executions is a sign of an increasingly desperate regime, that has lost all legitimacy. But despite enormous risk to their own lives, the people of Isfahan proved that the Islamic Republic's campaign of terror is failing. Risking bullets, imprisonment, and death, ordinary citizens gathered in Alikhani Square in a heroic attempt to stop these executions. Their courage showed that fear has given way to defiance. The gallows will not save the Islamic Republic. A people willing to stand unarmed before bullets and execution to protect one another cannot be defeated. We stand with the families of Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani and Amirhossein Safari Hosseinabadi, whose sacrifice will not be forgotten. Those who ordered and carried out these murders must know that justice may be delayed, but it will come. They will be held accountable before a free Iran and under the rule of law. At least eight more political prisoners from the same case remain under imminent threat of execution. The world must not look away. Democratic governments, international organizations, and human rights institutions must use every available tool to increase pressure on the Islamic Republic and stop its machinery of executions before more innocent lives are taken.
