HRANA News Agency – Today, Monday, June 23, Mizan, the Judiciary Media Center, announced the execution of Mohammad Amin Mahdavi Shayesteh, a prisoner convicted of espionage for Israel. In June of this year, his death sentence, issued while he was held in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, had been upheld by Branch 39 of the Supreme Court.

The Judiciary Media Center stated that Mohammad Amin Mahdavi Shayesteh was hanged this morning on charges of “espionage and intelligence cooperation in favor of the Israeli regime.”

The report claimed that Mahdavi Shayesteh was “the head of a cyber team affiliated with Mossad” and knowingly collaborated with Israel’s intelligence service.

Mizan further alleged that his responsibilities included “transmitting orders from Mossad officers,” “conducting virtual operations,” and even “directing field operations.”

The report did not provide further details, including the exact location where the execution was carried out.

In June of this year, Mohammad Amin Mahdavi Shayesteh’s death sentence, issued by Branch 15 of Tehran’s Revolutionary Court presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati, was confirmed by the Supreme Court. Mahdavi Shayesteh, a political prisoner approximately 27 years old, had been arrested in the fall of 2023 and was charged primarily with “collaborating with a hostile government.”

Previously, a source close to Mahdavi Shayesteh’s family told HRANA: “The accusations against Mohammad Amin were presented without sufficient evidence, and he was forced, under severe pressure, to make confessions whose validity is highly questionable. Furthermore, his arrest and trial process were marred by clear injustices, and he was denied access to legal counsel of his choice.”
