Ms. Zaynab Taheri was the lawyer of Mohammad Salas who was executed this morning.
This thread is according to her tweets.
She says based on the duty placed on her shoulders by Salas, she will be providing documents to the media proving his innocence.

Cemetery officials in Karaj, where Salas was hanged, said security officials from Tehran confiscated Salas' corpse without any authorization, transferred it to Borujerd (his home town in western #Iran) & delivered it to his brother.

Mohammad Salas' family preferred him to be buried in Tehran.
Forensics should have conducted an autopsy to evaluate any signs of torture on his body & file a report.
It must be clarified Salas was tortured or not.

Unfortunately, despite an official request placed by the Salas family for his body to be sent to the forensics, security forces buried his body without the family's permission.
If he wasn't tortured, what are the authorities hiding?

#Iran authorities buried Salas' body after his brother refused to receive it, his family never provided any burial authorization & no autopsy was conducted.
More than 200 anti-riot unit members were present at the burial.
(What is the regime hiding?)
