Earlier, the national hero, Navid Afkari, was executed on September 12, 2020, for participating in the August 2018 protests in Shiraz, despite the global protests to prevent his execution.
On January 14, 2020, the Athletics Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran called on the international community, especially the United Nations Human Rights Council and the International Olympic Committee, to take immediate action to save the life of Mr. Hosseini.

The mullah regime cannot survive even one day without execution, torture, and repression in a bid to create a reign of terror to prevent escalation of the popular uprising as it is engulfed with incurable internal and external crises.
The Iranian Resistance, The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran) reiterates their call on the United Nations Secretary-General.
Also, they called the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Human Rights Council, and all human rights defenders.
The Iranian Resistance, also called the European Union and its member states, to condemn the heinous execution of Mehdi Ali Hosseini and take immediate action to save the lives of prisoners on death row.
