Arash Rahmanipour hanged by the Islamic regime - Iran Tehran 28 Jan 2010 RIP!

This video shows the "confession" of Arash Rahmanipour forced by the Iranian regime which lead to his execution by hanging on Thursday, 28 Jan 2010.

Rahmanipour speaks at the revolutionary court in Tehran in August 2009.

Arash Rahmanipour, were convicted of belonging to "counterrevolutionary and monarchist groups," plotting to overthrow "the Islamic establishment" and planning assassinations and bombings said the prosecutor, Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi.

The announcements marked an escalation by the courts enforcing the clerical leadership's heavy, monthslong crackdown aimed at crushing the opposition challenge.

Rahmanipour had been arrested before the Iranian election in June 2009 and did not appear to be connected to the postelection protests.

But Rahmanipour were put before the same mass trial as opposition leaders and activists arrested amid the crackdown, and state media depicted Rahmanipour as part of the protest movement, a sign of how the government has used the unrest as an opportunity to pursue other enemies.

The media's depiction of the executions may aim to intimidate the opposition ahead of new street demonstrations expected in February.

In a further move likely aimed at cowing protesters, Tehran's prosecutor announced that five people have been sentenced to death for involvement in the most recent major demonstration, on Dec. 27.

That day saw the worst violence of the crackdown, with at least eight people killed in clashes between police and protesters and hundreds arrested.

Prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi also announced that another group of the postelection detainees would go on trial on Saturday. He said the trial will demonstrate the role of "leftists, Bahais and those who were directed by foreign hands" in the postelection turmoil.

Rahmanipour's lawyer, Nasrin Sotoudeh, told that the 20-year-old Rahmanipour was arrested in April on the charge of membership in an armed opposition group, the Royal Association of Iran.

Sotoudeh said his trial and verdict were "unfair and illegal," saying his lawyer was not allowed to participate in the court sessions and he was forced to confess. "He told me his pregnant sister had been arrested, too," she said. "In two sessions where he was interrogated, they placed his sister in front of him and told him if he wanted to see her free he had to admit to things he didn't do".

Sotoudeh also said she and Rahmanipour's relatives had not been notified of any appeal's court ruling upholding the death sentences.

State TV portrayed the executions as part of the postelection crackdown. In a report it said Rahmanipour sentenced to death along with the ten others "in the wake of the rioting and counterrevolutionary and antiestablishment acts of recent months."

Along with the charges laid out by the prosecutor, it said they were convicted on the charge of "moharebeh," or defying God.

How do you know? because Islamic regime say so, and why his lawyer did not a get a chance to defend him in a court of law, not in kangaroo court and show trial.

He was only 17 when he was arrested according to his lawyer Ms Sedtoodeh.

Iranian people one day will put these criminal on trail but they will not execute anyone, because we want Iran to be democratic, free and civilized

Shame on you defend this barbaric regime.
