Regarding the brutal execution of a 21-year-old young man named Milad Zohrehvand, who was arrested a year ago during the national uprising of the Iranian people, the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran issued a statement as follows:
The criminal agents of Khamenei executed the uprising prisoner, Milad Zohrehvand, 21, a brave son of the people of Malayer, secretly and without informing his family, in Hamedan Central Prison on Thursday, November 23.
Milad was wounded and arrested by the shooting of the guards during the protests of the people of Malayer on October 27, 2022. The regime’s judiciary sentenced him to death for the death of a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps named Ali Nazari, and the mullahs’ Supreme Court upheld his death sentence.
In the wake of this criminal execution and in fear of popular protests, the suppression forces have been deployed in various parts of Malayer since this morning.
Also, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran condemned this heinous crime and said:
Milad Zohrevand , a 21-year-old protester from Malayer, was arrested during the 2022 uprising. He was secretly executed by Khamenei’s henchmen without informing his family.
This heinous crime reveals the clerical regime’s barbarity and its fear of the outburst of Iranian people’s anger and rage. Such crimes only strengthen the resolve of the Iranian people and youths, bringing closer the day of the regime’s overthrow.
I urge the UN, the EU, and their member states to take urgent action to secure the freedom of imprisoned protesters, and save the lives of death-row prisoners. They should end their silence and inaction vis-à-vis the world’s record-holder of torture and execution in the 21st Century.
