In Iran, a former Revolutionary Guard officer and a Shia cleric were sentenced to death in two cases. According to the human rights agency HRANA, this is a man named Mehdi, whose last name has not yet been revealed. The Revolutionary Court in Tehran sentenced him to death along with two other detainees, Amirza Razai and Vahid Gharamani. They were accused of acting in Israel's interests. But the story does not end there. The special court for the clergy separately sentenced Mahdi to death for apostasy - that is, for abandoning Islam. All three were arrested during the January 2026 protests. They were informed of the verdicts on October 26, and two days later they were transferred to Ghazal Kasar Prison in Karaj. It is worth noting that a man who previously served in the Revolutionary Guards and belonged to the Shiite clergy is now sentenced to death, including for apostasy from the religion.
