HRANA – The Judiciary’s Media Center announced that the death sentence of Ali Fahim, one of those arrested during the January 2026 protests, has been carried out. He had been sentenced to death and confiscation of property by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court in connection with the arson case involving a Basij base, and the ruling had been upheld by the Supreme Court.

Mizan, the Judiciary’s Media Center, stated that the sentence of this political prisoner was carried out at dawn today, April 6, following review of the case, rejection of his appeal, and final confirmation of the ruling by the Supreme Court. According to the Judiciary’s claims, this imprisoned protester had been prosecuted on charges of “participation in operational actions against the country’s security for Israel, the United States, and anti-government groups; entering classified military premises with the intent to remove weapons and ammunition; and destroying and setting fire to government property with the aim of confronting the Islamic Republic.”

The report further claims that “Ali Fahim had intended to enter a military center and gain access to the weapons stored there. He also removed motorcycles from that military center, which were later set on fire by protesters.”

His case, along with that of four others, was heard in Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati, and on February 7, 2026, they were sentenced to death.

The case stems from the events of the evening of January 7, 2026, and the fire at the “185 Martyr Mahmoud Kaveh” Basij base in eastern Tehran. According to reports and videos of forced confessions broadcast by the Islamic Republic’s state television, these individuals had no role in the arson or destruction of property at the site, but had merely entered a building that had already been set on fire by others.

With the execution of Ali Fahim, a total of four people convicted in this case have now been executed. Mohammadamin Biglari, Shahin Vahedparast Kaloor, and Amirhossein Hatami are the three prisoners who were hanged in recent days. With these executions, concerns have intensified regarding the fate of Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani, another defendant in the case. These political prisoners had been transferred to solitary confinement cells in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj last Sunday.

According to HRA’s annual report, in 2025, at least 2,488 citizens, including 63 women and 2 juvenile offenders, were executed. Of these, 13 executions were carried out in public. During the same period, 130 others, including 10 women and 1 juvenile offender, were also sentenced to death.
