'We are deeply concerned about death sentences against participants in the Iran protests in 2019. I call on Iran to revoke the death sentences of Amirhossein Moradi, Saeed Tamjidi and Mohammad Rajab and to ensure a fair retrial. Norway opposes all use of death penalty' says Minister of Foreign Affairs,  Ine Eriksen Søreide.
