HRANA – At dawn today, Saturday, September 6, the death sentence of Mehran Bahramian, one of those arrested during the nationwide protests of 2022 in Semirom, Isfahan Province, was carried out. He had previously been sentenced to death on the charge of moharebeh (enmity against God) for the alleged killing of a Special Forces officer.

Mizan, the Judiciary’s Media Center, reported that on the morning of September 6, 2025, Bahramian was executed by hanging on charges of moharebeh through the killing of Mohsen Rezaei, a Special Forces officer.

According to the Judiciary, Bahramian was arrested on January 16, 2023, along with several others in the same case. He was initially sentenced to death by a branch of the Revolutionary Court in Isfahan. The Supreme Court later overturned the ruling and referred the case to a parallel court for retrial. Following a new trial, the death sentence was reissued and ultimately upheld by the country’s highest judicial authority.

The Judiciary alleges that on January 10, 2023, Bahramian, together with others, carried out an armed attack on a police vehicle, during which officer Mohsen Rezaei was fatally shot in the head.

The report did not specify the prison where Bahramian’s execution took place.
