Description
"Mostafa Mirsalim is a member of the Iranian Parliament. During the 2022/2023 protests, he has been particularly vocal in his support for the death penalty for arrested protesters, using the parliament as a platform to vehemently promote and call for their executions. He has called for protestors to be executed in a matter of days after their arrest. He also frequently attacks the free press and is in favour of restricting social media. He is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran."1
