UPDATE ON YESTERDAY'S STORY - Iran judiciary may halt protesters' executions after social media storm


This is how the Islamic regime in Iran is dealing with protesters - either shoot them on spot or execute them later.
Where is the UN? Where are the human rights organizations? These young men have not yet been executed. They need our voice. Iranians need our voice.

Iran's judiciary has suggested it might halt the executions of three young men convicted in connection with November's mass anti-government protests, following a social media campaign.
The Persian hashtag #do_not_execute was used five million times after it was announced on Tuesday that the Supreme Court had upheld their death sentences.
Many celebrities backed the campaign.
On Wednesday night, the judiciary said its chief would consider any request from the men to review their sentences.
Lawyers for the three men also were reportedly told that they could for the first time examine the court papers and evidence against their clients.
