Mohammad Ghobadloo at Imminent Risk of Execution

Mohammad Ghobadloo, a 22-year-old Iranian protester with a long-term mental disability, is facing the imminent threat of execution. Ghobadloo underwent trial on allegations of running over a police officer named Farid Karampour during Iran's 2022-2023 protests. 

According to Amnesty International, Ghobadloo was denied access to legal representation, subjected to severe physical abuse, and withheld from his necessary bipolar medication to "coerce" a confession that he intentionally ran over Officer Karampour to cause death. 

Notably, Dadban reports that several inconsistencies exist within his case. The coroner's report contradicts the notion that the police officer's death resulted from an accidental car incident, as it indicates that he sustained fatal head injuries from a blunt object. Additionally, several police commanders have supported the narrative of a conflict on the day of Farid Karampour's funeral. Despite these facts, judicial authorities, particularly the case prosecutor, persist in asserting that the police officer was killed by a car.

Currently, Ghobadloo is being politically sponsored by lawyer and member of the German Parliament Clara Anne Bünge, member of the French Senate Nathalie Goulet, senator in Parliamentary Assembly (France) Raquel Garrido, member of Parliament in NewZealand Marama Davidson and member of Canadian parliament John Aldga.
