As Iran is on the eve of celebrating the Revolution tomorrow, we received some disturbing news on the death of the leading Iranian Environmental Activist that authorities in Tehran claim killed himself (or some reports state he died of a heart attack). The New York Times reported on it:
He Fought for Iran’s Environment and Was Arrested. Now, He’s Dead. https://t.co/22js2jOnmB— Thomas Erdbrink (@ThomasErdbrink) February 10, 2018
On behalf of the entire Daily Outsider Team, we extend our profound condolences to his family as we salute his work and courage on behalf of the people of Iran. We also join the call for President Rouhani to order an independent inquiry into his death that the Wall Street Journal's Farnaz Fasshini noted :
Prominent politician Mostafa Tajzadeh calls for #Rouhani to order independent investigation into Kavous Seyed Emami's death in prison. #Iran #Iranian #Canadian @Rouhani_ir @JZarif @JustinTrudeau #Canada https://t.co/XTFbHBbmBd— Farnaz Fassihi (@farnazfassihi) February 10, 2018
