“The lawyer they gave him told me that he could hire another, and I told him ‘yes, that’s what I want because you have not done anything to defend my son, you did not prepare the defense,'” he added in his complaint for Lawyer theme.
Then the father told how the last talk with his son was.
“He called me on Wednesday, at 2 pm, and told me: ‘Dad, they gave us the sentences, they gave me the death sentence, but I didn’t tell mom anything, don’t tell her either, don’t tell mom anything, may God forgive them, at least nothing happens at home’“.
“They can sentence him to two life sentences, 50 years in prison, but I wanted to know that he was still breathing,” the father claimed.

Death Penalties in Iran
The Iranian justice system announced on Monday the death sentence of three other people in relation to the protests over the death of the young Mahsa Amini while in detention, unleashing a new wave of international outrage.
The three convicted, as well as two men who were executed on Saturday, were arrested as part of the repression of the protests unleashed after the death of Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman arrested for allegedly violating the dress code in force in the Islamic Republic.
The Iranian authorities describe the protest movement as “riots” and affirm that the mobilizations are encouraged by countries and organizations hostile to
