Mahnaz Chardouli, who was arrested during the January uprising, has been sentenced by the Tehran Revolutionary Court to death and 10 years in prison.
Her fiancé, Mehdi Nazer, was also sentenced to death, while his sister, Atefeh Nazer, received a 10-year prison sentence.
The 15th Branch of the Tehran Revolutionary Court convicted Mahnaz Chardouli on charges including attacking a mosque with Molotov cocktails, participating in unlawful gatherings, and conspiracy against national security, sentencing her to death and 10 years in prison. Her fiancé, Mehdi Nazer, received a death sentence on similar charges.
Atefeh Nazer, Mehdi Nazer’s sister, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in the same case on charges of conspiracy against national security.
However, informed sources stated that on January 11, 2026, when the three were arrested, no public reports documented either a protest gathering or an attack on a mosque. According to these sources, this has raised questions about the evidentiary basis of the case.
Sources close to the families reported that relatives have been pressured not to disclose information about the legal proceedings or the sentences imposed.
