Fourteen political prisoners issued a statement warning about the danger of a death sentence for Amir Hossein Mousavi, a social media activist known as "James Beidin."

In this statement published on Thursday, October 15, these political prisoners pointed to the role of security agencies and state media in fabricating charges against Amir Hossein Mousavi, stating that after his forced confessions were aired on television, the number of accusations against him increased from five to nine.

Among the additional charges added to Mr. Mousavi's case are "moharebeh" (waging war against God) and "efsad fil-arz" (corruption on earth), which could lead to the risk of a death sentence against him.

The signatories of this statement emphasized that the serious charges now threatening this prisoner’s life "did not exist in his case prior to the airing of the state media report."

Amir Hossein Mousavi has been in detention since December 2023 and, after enduring six months in solitary confinement, has been transferred to the general ward of the prison.
