In the morning of Tuesday, the 23rd of January, the repression and terror machine of the Islamic Republic killed Mohammad Ghobadlou, a 22-year-old young man who was arrested during the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement. He was accused of running over police officers with a car during the 2022 street protests and killing one of them. His lawyer had previously announced that the death sentence of Mohammad Ghobadlou was "overturned by the first branch of the Supreme Court", but despite this, the judiciary implemented the overturned sentence.
With the successive executions of freedom fighters, the Islamic Republic is trying to take revenge on the revolutionary movement "Women, Life, Freedom" and political opponents, obliterating the achievements of this movement, creating an atmosphere of terror in the society and trying to prevent new protests. But this regime will carry the wish to return to before September 2022 to the grave. The transformation that the revolutionary movement "Women, Life, Freedom" has created in our society and the step taken in the effort to end the Islamic Republic and all its evil effects are abiding.
The Left Party of Iran expresses its deep sympathy with the bereaved family of Mohammad Ghobadlou. We consider the execution and killing of activists of the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement and other political fighters as an example of revenge and state murder, and we believe that these crimes will continue as long as the Islamic Republic is in power. To put an end to these murders, the regime that rules with repression and murder must be buried.
The Left Party of Iran calls on all to protest in order to prevent the repetition of state killings and put an end to them. It is important not to remain silent and to spread our protests against the murderous regime of the Islamic Republic inside and outside the country, in any form and on any occasion. The memorial ceremony of Mohammad Ghobadlou is one of these occasions. We call on all the people of Iran to accompany, align and cooperate in confronting the regime of the Islamic Republic, in order to overthrow it and establish a free and just society. The Left Party of Iran also calls on the people of Iran to protest against the death sentences in any way they can and prevent further executions.
