Arvin Ghahremani (Nathaniel), a 20-year-old Iranian Jewish citizen, is currently at risk of execution. The Iranian judiciary had intended to carry out the execution of this prisoner on Saturday, May 18, 2024, but it was postponed until Monday, May 20, 2024.
Based on the reports received by Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM), Arvin Ghahremani committed “intentional murder” two years ago at the age of 18 during a street altercation, causing the death of a Muslim citizen. He was arrested at that time and subsequently sentenced to death by the Iranian judiciary.
Recently, Arvin Ghahremani’s mother made a plea for help through the release of an audio file on social media, asking people to help save her son from execution. The family is appealing to the public for intervention to save their son’s life, and the Iranian judiciary has given them until Monday, May 20, to seek a resolution. If they are unable to obtain consent, his sentence will be executed.
As of the time of this news release, the efforts of Arvin Ghahremani’s family to obtain consent from the parents of the deceased have been unsuccessful. The victim’s family has refused to accept any form of diya (blood money) and insists on the execution of the sentence. The Iranian and Kermanshah branches of the Kalimian Association have also made continuous efforts to persuade the grieving family, but so far, none of their efforts have yielded results.
