Darya Safai, Member of the Belgian Parliament and a Women’s rights activist, tweeted the video. The caption attached with the video read, “Just before he’s hanged on Dec 12 by Iran’s regime, they interrogate #MajidrezaRahnavard.

Only because he demonstrated for his rights.” Watch the video below:

Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the director of the Oslo-based organisation Iran Human Rights, claimed that Rahnavard “was sentenced to death based on coerced confessions during a… show trial,” AFP reported.

“The public execution of a young protester, 23 days after his arrest, is another serious crime committed by the Islamic republic’s leaders,” he was quoted as saying by AFP.
