Please share #ShayanHadian 🆘Shayan Hadian is seventeen years old. He is a swimmer and a boxer. He should be thinking about school, competitions, and his future. Instead, he has been arrested, accused without credible evidence, forced into a confession, and sentenced to death.This is what the absence of rule of law looks like.In Iran, the judiciary does not operate as an independent branch of government. Judges are selected based on loyalty to the system, not commitment to justice. Trials, especially in political cases, are often closed. Defendants are denied proper access to lawyers. Confessions extracted under torture are presented as evidence. Verdicts are shaped by political interests long before a courtroom session begins.When a minor can be condemned to death after a forced confession, the problem is structural. This is a ”legal system” that allows and supports this outcome.Executions are used to send a message. They are meant to intimidate families, silence communities, and discourage any form of dissent. The law becomes a tool of control rather than a protection of rights.
