Pleas of surviving relatives: My cousin, Roozbeh, was killed at the hands of the Salavati family in a sham judicial process. Two separate trials—both overseen by a father and son—determined his fate. This level of nepotism in a supposed legal system is unheard of. How is it possible that a father and son are allowed to preside over the same prisoner in two different trials, each reinforcing the other’s corruption? As if the junior Judge Salavati would ever dare contradict or overrule his own father’s verdict. Roozbeh was never politically active. He was a scientist—devoted, patriotic, and committed to empowering the Iranian people through peaceful nuclear energy and scientific advancement. During the 18 months he was imprisoned, none of us—his family, his relatives—knew where he was, nor did we know that his mother had also been jailed. We learned of his death the same way the rest of the world did: through news outlets reporting that he had been murdered under the authority of Salavati, father and son. The inhumanity and crimes committed by the Salavati family against innocent civilians in Iran are well-documented by human rights organizations. This level of injustice is appalling, unforgivable, and a stain on any society that claims to value law, humanity, or dignity. I, Vahid Razavi, demand an immediate end to this corruption and nepotism. I demand justice for Roozbeh and for the countless others who have been sentenced, tortured, or killed under the rulings of these two judges. I call for a full, transparent investigation into his case and all similar cases. I further demand an end to capital punishment in Iran—no more hangings, no more executions, no more torture, no more forced confessions. May justice, human rights, and human dignity prevail in my country of birth one day.
