Charges

Mr. Shah Faramarzi was reported to be charged with “armed collaboration with the famous armed robber, Seyed Khan who had already been executed.”He was also charged with “participation in disarmament of Ivan Police Station and Gilan-e Gharb clashes.”

The validity of the criminal charges brought against this defendant cannot be ascertained in the absence of the basic guarantees of a fair trial. International human rights organizations have drawn attention to reports indicating that the Islamic Republic’s authorities have brought trumped up charges against their political opponents and executed them for drug trafficking, sexual, and other criminal offences. Each year, Iranian authorities sentence to death hundreds of alleged common criminals, following judicial processes that fail to meet international standards. The exact number of people convicted based on trumped-up charges is unknown.
