The clerical regime’s Judiciary has sentenced another four detained protesters from the January 2026 uprising to death and ordered their properties confiscated.
Bita Hemmati, and her 34-year-old husband, Mohammadreza Majidi Asl, Behrouz Zamaninejad, and Kourosh Zamaninejad were arrested during the January 2026 uprising in Tehran.
Bita Hemmati and the three other detained protesters were subjected to torture and interrogation and hastily sentenced to death and the confiscation of all their property by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, by Iman Afshari, one of the regime’s most criminal judges.
The death sentences issued by the regime’s Judiciary are aimed at containing public anger and intimidating the people in a bid to prevent another uprising.
The four detained protesters of the January 2026 uprising are charged with “using explosives and weapons,” “harming stationed forces on-site,” “throwing objects including bottles, concrete blocks, and incendiary materials from the roofs of buildings,” “destroying public property,” “participating in protest gatherings,” and “chanting protest slogans” in line with “disrupting national security” and in connection with “hostile groups,” as well as “sending content with the aim of undermining security.”
Between March 19 and April 6, at least 13 political prisoners including seven detained protesters of the January 2026 uprising were executed by the clerical regime.
The NCRI Women’s Committee urges the United Nations and other relevant international bodies to take immediate action to save the lives of prisoners sentenced to death, especially political prisoners and those detained during the uprising.
