The Mullahs\u2019 regime plainclothes agents in an inhumane act destroyed the grave of wrestling champion and political prisoner Navid Afkari <\/a>on Thursday, December 17, 2020. \u00a0Afkari <\/a>arrested in 2018 in relation with nationwide anti-regime protests in Fars province. He brutally tortured\u00a0by the regime\u2019s prison agents and sentenced to execution on bogus charges. Despite an international campaign calling for the revocation of Afkari\u2019s death sentence, the regime\u00a0proceeded with the execution\u00a0in September, triggering a wave of national and international outrage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppression forces remain alert of any possible unrest, around the cemetery in #NavidAfkari<\/a>'s neighborhood.

Officials responsible for Sha'hin Naseri's disappearance speak no news of his whereabout. Sha'hin had testified to tortures carried out on the national champion, Navid. https:\/\/t.co\/ZiPFI8W6ec<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Iran Freedom (@4FreedominIran) October 4, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
