When thousands of us took action in February to save Saman
Naseem’s life, the Iranian authorities heard us and quashed his death
sentence. Now let’s use our power to ensure he gets a fair retrial –
this time free from torture and the death penalty.
Saman Naseem was only 17 when he was arrested
and he has described how he was tortured following arrest. His forced
“confession” was used to sentence him to death but news of his scheduled
execution sparked an international outcry. Instead of being executed,
Saman Naseem was transferred to an undisclosed location. After nearly
five months of not knowing what happened to Saman, his family was able
to have a prison visit with him on 13 July 2015. The Iranian authorities
have also granted him judicial review, thus quashing his death sentence
imposed on him for “enmity against God” and “corruption on earth.”
