To the Honorable Editor-in-Chief of Al Jazeera News Agency,
We write with deep concern to express our protest against the misleading headline of your recent report titled "Iran executes four Iranians convicted of Israeli bomb plot." This headline echoes the same narrative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has never been proven in court with evidence or witnesses.
As a respected news agency, Al Jazeera needs to conduct a thorough investigation into these allegations and shed light on the events leading to the execution of these four citizens: Mohsen Mazloum, Mohammad Faramarzi, Vafa Azarbar, and Pejman Fatehi.
The Islamic Republic's narrative that these four men were convicted of conspiracy to carry out a bombing at the command of Israel was never proven in court with evidence or witnesses. In fact, Amnesty International has called the trial of these four men "a grossly unfair secret trial." They believe that these four men were innocent and their execution was simply a means of suppressing dissent against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The misleading nature of the allegations warrants a comprehensive review of the Iranian narrative to prevent the perpetuation of misinformation and uphold the pursuit of justice. In line with Al Jazeera's commitment to responsible journalism, we urge you and your team to delve into the details of this case and present a neutral and comprehensive report.
The execution of individuals based on unfounded allegations poses a grave threat to human rights, highlighting the vital importance of accurate reporting. As signatures of this petition, we demand that Al Jazeera treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves and play a pivotal role in uncovering the truth behind these false accusations. Your dedication to investigative journalism can significantly contribute to ensuring justice for the Kurdish people and other ethnic and religious minorities who have been impacted by these distressing events.
We eagerly await witnessing Al Jazeera's unwavering commitment to truth and justice in your future reporting.
