"Saman Sayidi" (Yasin): I demand your execution.

"Saman Sayidi," known as Saman Yasin, wrote to the head of the judiciary, "I am requesting execution from you."

Saman Sayidi, also known as Saman Yasin, was an Iranian protest rapper active on social media. He was arrested in early October 1401 (Monday) following nationwide protests and sent to prison on charges of Moharebeh. He was initially sentenced to death on charges of Moharebeh, but the Supreme Court overturned the sentence, and the court's verdict and sentence for Saman Yasin are still unknown.

He wrote a letter to the head of the Islamic Republic's judiciary, demanding that his sentence be commuted. He also mentioned the physical and mental problems he had suffered in prison and stated that he preferred execution to the current conditions.

Saman Yasin's letter, which was sent from Qezl-e-Hesar Prison in Karaj, was published last night on his official Instagram page. While revealing the pressures of prison, which has resulted in mental and physical problems and the ban on sending him to medical centers, he wrote to the head of the judiciary: "Please tell me what crime I have committed? If I am guilty, then imprison me, if I am not guilty, ban the prosecution. I do not know what the reason for all this anger and harassment by the judicial systems towards me means. I demand execution! I cannot tolerate imprisonment and uncertainty for a crime that neither you nor I know about. Please issue my death sentence. I have no objection and I give my written consent with my fingerprint and signature.

"My life has been destroyed, you have taken my mental, emotional and physical health. You have carried out an artificial execution, you have taken me to a mental hospital, what else can you do to me? Take my life, that's it. I am being held in prison without any evidence or documents, and in these 18 months, I have been given a court date many times, but it has not been held. I prefer execution to 18 months of uncertainty."

In recent months, political prisoner Ahmad Reza Haeri referred to Saman Yasin's condition in a letter he wrote from Ghezel Hesar Prison, saying: "When Saman Yasin was in Ward 240 of Evin Prison, he experienced a simulated execution and two days later he was notified of the real death sentence." In part of his letter, he called for an investigation into Saman Yasin's cellmates, who witnessed Saman Yasin's transfer that night and, hours later, his return, he was in an inappropriate mental state.

Saman Yasin also released an audio file in September 1402, reporting on the physical and psychological torture he had been subjected to. In the audio file, he said that he had been artificially executed, his nose broken, put in a morgue, and transferred to a psychiatric hospital.

Saman Yasin is currently in prison in limbo, his life in danger due to a letter he wrote to the head of the judiciary, and it is unclear what the sentence he will receive will be.
