HRANA – The death sentence of Amir-Ali Mirjafari, arrested during the December–January 2026 protests, was carried out early this morning. He had faced charges during the judicial process including “espionage” and “acting against national security.”
According to Mizan, Amir-Ali Mirjafari was hanged at dawn today after his death sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court. Based on the report, this citizen was arrested during the Dey protests and, in the course of judicial proceedings, was sentenced to death on charges such as “operational actions for the Zionist regime and hostile governments” and cooperation with what were described as “networks affiliated with Mossad.”
In the report, he is described as a “leader of a network,” and accusations against him include directing protest actions and maintaining contact with foreign intelligence entities. The alleged charges cited include setting fire to the Qolhak Grand Mosque, destroying public property such as buses and motorcycles, blocking roads by burning trash bins, and attacking security forces with cold weapons.
The report claims that court sessions were held in the presence of the defendant and his lawyer, and that the issued verdict was approved by the Supreme Court after completing legal procedures.
It is also claimed that the defendant’s active presence in the protests was established through “technical examinations” and “visual documentation,” which were used as evidence in the case. However, no independent details are available regarding how this evidence was examined or whether it could be verified through a transparent judicial process.
It is worth noting that following the outbreak of military conflict between the United States–Israel and Iran, which began on February 28, 2026, the execution of prisoners with political-security charges has accelerated.
According to HRA’s Annual Report, in 2025 at least 2,063 citizens, including 61 women and 2 juvenile offenders, were executed. Of these, the sentences of 11 individuals were carried out in public. During the same period, 172 other individuals were sentenced to death.
