Iranians from a variety of political, economic and cultural backgrounds -- lawyers, teachers, footballers, artists, students, activists -- joined together in an unprecedented Twitter storm, sharing the hashtag #DoNotExecute to protest the judiciary upholding the death sentences of three men arrested

Saeed Tamjidi, 28, Mohammad Rajabi, 26, and Amirhossein Moradi, 26, were apprehended after the November uprising following a spike in fuel prices. Hundreds were killed and thousands were injured in the crackdown on the unrest.

Mostafa Nili, a lawyer for Rajabi and Tamjidi, complained that he had no access to his clients' cases, even at the appeals court. According to the Fars News, an agency affiliated to the conservative party in Iran,"The head of the judiciary ordered a retrial for three death offenders, and the execution of the sentence has been practically stopped."

The contradiction left those following the case confused and frustrated. Meanwhile, hardliners who support the execution started their own campaign with the hashtag #DoTheExecution. Hosein Taj, Moradi's lawyer, confirmed that he read his client's case on Wednesday in an interview with the moderate semi-official Ensaf News Agency.

He was also convicted after using a claw hammer to kill an 80 yr old woman who suffered from polio. Sind Sie sicher, daß die Hinrichtungen für einen entwickelten Staat noch zeitgerecht sind - für die USA, war gemeint.

The Supreme Court’s Late-Night Death Penalty Decision Isn’t Just Cruel. It’s Legally Indefensible.The five conservative justices abdicated their duty to ensure that executions comply with the Constitution. You mean child rapists, serial killers, serial abusers, murderers? Obama ran concentration camps at the borders. Democrats were silent. Comply? There nothing unjust about execution for heinous acts.
