- The regime’s judiciary cited their charges as “using explosives and weapons,” “harming stationed forces on-site,” “throwing incendiary materials,” and “disrupting national security”
- Call for immediate action to save the lives of political prisoners sentenced to death
The regime’s judiciary, terrified of the volcano of public anger and seeking to intimidate the public to prevent another uprising, has sentenced four other prisoners from the January 2026 uprising to death and confiscation of their property in a criminal and collective verdict.
Mohammadreza Majidi Asl, 34, his wife Bita Hemmati, Behrouz Zamaninezhad, and Kourosh Zamaninezhad were arrested during the uprising in Tehran and subjected to torture and interrogation. They were hastily sentenced to death and the confiscation of all their property by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by the executioner Iman Afshari.
The regime’s judiciary listed the charges against these four prisoners as: “using explosives and weapons,” “harming stationed forces on-site,” “throwing objects including bottles, concrete blocks, and incendiary materials from the roofs of buildings,” “destroying public property,” “participating in protest gatherings,” and “chanting protest slogans” in line with “disrupting national security” and in connection with “hostile groups,” as well as “sending content with the aim of undermining security.”
The Iranian Resistance once again calls on the United Nations, relevant international bodies, and human rights defenders to take immediate action to save the lives of prisoners sentenced to death, especially political prisoners and those detained during the uprising.
