HRANA News Agency – Judicial cases have been opened against Ali Adinezadeh, the father of Abolfazl Adinezadeh—a teenager killed during the 2022 nationwide protests—and four other members of his family.

In a public statement, Marziyeh Adinezadeh, daughter of Ali Adinezadeh, revealed that cases have been filed against herself, her parents—Ali Adinezadeh and Goldasteh Hosseini-Jahanabad—and two of her uncles. The charges include disturbing public order, spreading false information, causing public anxiety, intentional assault, and resisting law enforcement.

Marziyeh also shared an image of a court summons issued to her father, requesting his presence at Branch 118 of Mashhad Criminal Court II to respond to the allegations today.

Ali Adinezadeh had previously been summoned by the same judicial authority for a hearing related to the case in March 2025. He was released from Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad in September 2024 on bail. His arrest had taken place in July 2024 after appearing before Branch 1 of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office in Quchan.

Ali Adinezadeh, father of slain protester Abolfazl Adinezadeh, has previously faced judicial action. His wife Goldasteh Hosseini-Jahanabad and daughter Marziyeh Adinezadeh have also been previously detained in connection with security-related cases.

Background on the 2022 Nationwide Protests

The protests in Iran were triggered by the arrest of Mahsa Amini by the Tehran Morality Police for her improper hijab and her subsequent suspicious death on September 16. The demonstrations quickly spread across the country, with participants rallying against the performance, laws, and structure of the regime. Thousands of people, including journalists, artists, lawyers, teachers, students, and civil rights activists, were arrested during the nationwide protests.
