Iran's judiciary has denied it scheduled the execution of a man arrested in connection with the country's recent protests. Norway-based Kurdish human rights organisation Hengaw said earlier this week that the family of Erfan Soltani, 26, had been told he faced execution on Wednesday, only days after he was detained. On Wednesday, Hengaw cited them as saying Soltani's execution had been postponed but warned that serious and ongoing concerns regarding his life remained. This is good news. Hopefully, it will continue! said US President Donald Trump, who had warned Iran not to execute protesters. The judiciary stated that he faced charges of colluding against national security and propaganda activities against the establishment, which are not punishable by death, state broadcaster IRIB reported. They noted reports by foreign media organisations about Soltani's execution were a blatant act of news fabrication. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also stated there was no plan for such executions. However, President Trump warned of very strong action against Iran if executions were carried out. On Wednesday, Trump indicated that important sources had advised that the killing in Iran is stopping, and there's no plan for executions. Hengaw reported that Soltani had been denied access to a lawyer, with his family unaware of any official charges against him. Soltani, a clothes shop owner, was detained at home last Thursday amidst protests in Fardis, west of Tehran, while the judiciary claimed he was arrested during riots on Saturday. Calls for rapid punishment of violent demonstrators were made by Iran's chief justice amidst ongoing unrest that has seen significant casualties and arrests throughout the nation.
