Justice: Iran: Another death sentence against protesters

A man has been sentenced to death for his involvement in the recent protests in the country. He is accused of “waging war against God” and “corruption on earth”.

In connection with the recent wave of protests in Iran, the judiciary has imposed another death sentence on a demonstrator.

As the justice portal Misan announced, Javad R. was found guilty of his involvement as a “ringleader of the unrest” in the northern port city of Noshahr. According to Islamic legal opinion, the man was charged with “waging war against God” and “corruption on earth”. The judgment can still be appealed.

According to information from the human rights organization Amnesty International, at least 26 demonstrators in Iran are facing the death penalty. So far, Iran has executed four sentences. On Monday night, numerous people and relatives protested in the capital Tehran against an imminent execution.

The trigger for the nationwide protests against the government’s repressive course and the Islamic system of rule was the death of the Iranian Kurd Jina Mahsa Amini in September. She died in police custody after being arrested for breaking Islamic dress codes.
