Fear of the possible execution of Revolutionary Guard Alireza, a protestor from Isfahan, in Isfahan
🔸 Human rights organizations have expressed concern over the increased possibility of his death sentence being carried out following the announcement that Revolutionary Guard Alireza, one of the detainees from the Isfahan protests, has been transferred to solitary confinement.
The Norway-based Iran Human Rights organization and the Washington-based HRANA news agency published this report on Sunday evening, October 12.
According to these reports, this 25-year-old protester sentenced to death in the "Ali-Khani Square" case of Isfahan, after calling his family to meet him in Isfahan's Dastgerd Prison, is facing the danger of execution.
Last night, defense attorney Amirsalar Davoudi announced the marriage of these two prisoners by publishing an audio file of the wedding sermon of Alireza, a death-row prisoner, and Mahshad Kashani on his Instagram. These two had been engaged before their arrest.
Mahshad Kashani is one of the protesters in prison who has been sentenced to five years in-prison. The wedding sermon for the two was read by Amir Salar Davoudi.
Radio Farda previously published a report on this case, which arose following the deaths of four special forces officers during the protests on December 18 of last year at Ali-Khani Square in Isfahan.
Hossein Ramezani, Mohammad Hammami, Seyed Ali Khoshoui, and Valiollah Safari were four agents of the special unit who were killed on the night of January 18 during nationwide protests in the area of Ali-Khani Square, between Malekshahr and Kaveh, Isfahan.
State media have published videos of forced confessions of some of the defendants in this case during interrogations, reenactment of the scene, and trial sessions in the first branch of the Revolutionary Court of Isfahan. Human rights organizations consider such confessions to be baseless.
In this case, five defendants have been executed so far, and seven other defendants are at risk of execution.
The surge in the use of the death penalty in Iran, especially in recent months, has raised international concerns. Human rights organizations and governments say Tehran is using executions to instill fear in society and prevent further protests.
According to an Amnesty International report, Iran executed at least 2,159 people in 2025.
