Yisroel Meir Hirsch, a member of the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta group that dresses like chassidic Jews, says that activists from his “community” are currently in Iran working to save 20-year-old Arvin Ghahremani, who was sentenced to death.
“Activists from the Neturei Karta community are currently in Iran. They are making a great effort to save the 20-year-old Jewish boy,” Hirsch stated in an interview with Radio Kol Berama.
Earlier this week, the Tehran Appeals Court denied the retrial request of Ghahremani, who was convicted for his involvement in a brawl that resulted in another man’s death.
According to Norway-based Iran Human Rights, Ghahremani is on the death-sentence list, and his execution could be imminent.
Ghahremani’s family argues that the court disregarded crucial evidence showing that Arvin acted in self-defense and even assisted in taking the injured man to the hospital in an effort to save his life.
The family asserts that all Arvin did was remove a knife from the hands of a man who was attempting to attack him.
