Write #stopexecutionsiniran and post it on social media.”

The producer also spoke of the dangers to which Iranian demonstrators are exposed.

“Thousands of innocent protesters are in jail,” she continued.

And some of them have already been executed.

Many more are likely to be.

Innocent women and men are tortured in these prisons.

They are sentenced to prison terms because they want basic freedom.

For protesting against a barbaric dictatorship.”

Before adding: “Don't let the struggle of the Iranians be trivialized.

Give them your voice.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS CAMPAIGN LIVE.

LET'S GO ON.

Take a stand with us.

Support the Iranian people.”

And the screenwriter to conclude: “IT IS NOT A PROTEST IT IS A REVOLUTION.

And it will end when we get rid of this barbaric Islamic regime and IRAN IS FREE.”

“The world is with them”

As Mozhan Marnò explained to

Iranian justice also announced, on Saturday January 7, the hanging of two men found guilty of having killed a paramilitary during a demonstration.
