He was detained in October, 2008, and accused of "enmity against God." On November 13, 2009, he was transferred to a solitary confinement cell, where prisoners are held before execution. Amnesty International called for Iran to commute Moarefi"s sentence, in vain. We expect the youth of this land to be judged by the same kindness.
Is this too much to ask for by an old father and a heart-broken mother?.
That is why we, as those close to Shirkooh Moarefi, are asking all international and human rights bodies to while defending the primary and elementary rights of a political prisoner, start negotiating with the Islamic Republic government on the matter of Shirkooh’s execution and convince the officials of this government that claim to be religious for this not to happen.
We, members of Moarefi Family, believe that if Shirkooh has done acts that are crimes against Islamic Republic laws, the same Islamic Laws should be considered to give an opportunity for him to live again.
