This action ended on July 4, 2025

Three prisoners – Hadi Rostami, Mehdi Shahivand, and Mehdi Sharfian – are at grave risk of having their finger-amputation sentences carried out as early as April 11, 2025 in Urumieh Central prison, West Azerbaijan province. Since their conviction and sentencing in 2019 based on torture-tainted “confessions” following grossly unfair trials, the authorities have repeatedly threatened to carry out their finger amputations, a form of torture and a crime under international law. Previous plans to amputate their fingers were halted due to international pressure.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE UNTIL: July 4, 2025
