HRANA – The death sentence of Amirhassan Akbari-Monfared, a political prisoner held in Evin Prison, has been upheld by Branch 41 of the Supreme Court.
According to HRANA, Branch 41 of the Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of political prisoner Amirhassan Akbari-Monfared and communicated to him in prison on October 11, 2026. In July of this year, he was sentenced to death by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati, on charges of baghi (armed rebellion) through membership in the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
Amirhassan Akbari-Monfared was arrested alongside his father, Mohammad Akbari-Monfared, his brother Amirhossein, and his sister Zeinab by Ministry of Intelligence agents in Karaj during the winter of 2025. Some time later, three members of his family were released on bail.
No information has yet been obtained regarding the specific charges brought against the other members of his family. However, a source familiar with the situation of these political defendants previously told HRANA that they were facing security-related charges.
Mohammad Akbari-Monfared, aged approximately 58, Amirhossein Akbari-Monfared, 33, Zeinab Akbari-Monfared, 30, and Amirhassan Akbari-Monfared are all residents of Karaj.
