Iran has suspended the execution of 26-year-old Erfan Soltani, who was sentenced to death for participating in anti-government protests. His family and the Norway-based human rights organization Hengaw confirmed the suspension, according to CNN. Soltani, a small business owner from Karaj near Tehran, was arrested on January 8 for allegedly joining demonstrations. Within three days, he was tried and sentenced to death without the presence of family or friends in court. The Guardian reported that his sister, a registered lawyer, was not allowed to participate in the proceedings.
A relative named Somayeh said the family learned that the execution had not been carried out but had not yet been canceled, and they were awaiting further information. Hengaw later confirmed the suspension of the death sentence. On the same day, U.S. President Donald Trump stated in Washington that killings of protesters in Iran had stopped and planned executions of detainees were on hold, with Soltani’s suspension reported hours after his remarks.
