When death sentences make litigation impossible

The Iranian judiciary is closed by sentences such as execution, amputation and flogging, which confronts you with a moral dilemma. How? Recently, Iranian women have written on Twitter about the daily attacks and aggressions they have experienced and commit. In these stories, the identity of a serial rapist who raped and drugged his victims became clear to everyone. The Iranian judiciary is closed by sentences such as execution, amputation and flogging, which confronts you with a moral dilemma. How? Recently, Iranian women have written on Twitter about the daily attacks and aggressions they have experienced and commit. In these stories, the identity of a serial rapist who raped and drugged his victims became clear to everyone. Even the police and the police intervened and arrested the victim and called on the victims to file a complaint to open the case and take it to court. However, many women who were harassed by this rapist, knowing that their complaint could be a death sentence, prefer not to do so and waive their right to complain.

The fact that a legal system actually makes you an accomplice in a premeditated murder is one of the main flaws in the Iranian legal system for access to justice. The story becomes even more tragic when, as a father whose son was killed by another son in a conflict, you are forced to escape the four-legged execution and commit murder. Unfortunately, this concept has recently become a solution for the Islamic Republic to cover up political executions under the name of retaliation. The case of Navid Afkari, a 27-year-old wrestler who was accused of murder and then executed, is one such case. In this case, the Islamic Republic did not even have the opportunity to obtain the consent of the victim’s family, who had promised to kill him, and although measures had been taken in this regard, he was executed without prior notification of his family.

One of the cases in which the Islamic Republic easily conceals its executions in the name of retaliation. The execution of homosexuals is carried out in the name of aggression and the crime of rape. The truth is that homosexuals in Iran have been threatened with execution for many years and many of them have been hanged, but most of these cases have been closed and registered as rape. In such cases, one of the parties usually alleges that the sexual partner and his partner abused him without his consent in order to escape the death penalty. Because only then can he get off the chair of execution.

For years, civil society activists in Iran have been calling for the abolition of the death penalty in the judiciary and the replacement of other punishments, but have been subject to arrests, imprisonment and signs of espionage and anti-regime. The Islamic Republic does not even spare the execution of children and keeps juveniles who have committed murder at a young age in prison until they are 18 years old and throw a rope around their necks.
