Salar Kerdari is a 19 year-old Kurdish youth from Marivan in Iranian Kurdistan. He was arrested near the Iran-Iraq border about two and a half months ago and is now jailed in Sanandaj's central prison.
The authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran have recently informed his family that he has been condemned to death. He has been accused of the 'crime' of being a part of the political movement against the regime in Kurdistan - a 'crime' that most of the youth of Iranian Kurdistan have committed.
We call on all human rights and progressive organisations to voice their opposition to this heinous act that is aimed at all Kurdish youth and the resistance of the Kurdish people against decades of Persian and Shiite tyranny.
