According to a report published by Iran International, five protest detainees sentenced to death in connection with a fire at a Basij base in eastern Tehran have been removed from the general ward of Ghezel Hesar Prison and transferred to an undisclosed location, raising concerns that their executions may be imminent.
Families have identified the individuals as Mohammad Amin Biglari, Shahin Vahedparast Kalur, Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani, Amirhossein Hatami, and Ali Fahim, whose cases were reportedly sent for the sentence to carried out. The case stems from events on the evening of January 8, involving a fire at the “185 Martyr Mahmoud Kaveh” Basij base on Damavand Street.
Reports, including televised confession videos aired by state media, suggest the defendants did not directly set the fire. According to these accounts, they had entered the building but were then confined inside by unidentified individuals before the premises were set ablaze, placing their lives at serious risk.
Eyewitnesses have also stated that large numbers of protesters had gathered that night, during which several motorcycles were set on fire nearby. They report that armed, unidentified individuals forced protesters into the building and blocked the exits. Despite the spread of fire and heavy smoke, security forces present at the scene allegedly failed to intervene.
The five individuals were sentenced to death on charges including “waging war against God” (moharebeh), “sowing corruption on Earth,” and collusion against national security by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati. The trial process was reportedly swift, with limited access granted to defense lawyers to review the case and present an effective defense.

Mizan News Agency, affiliated with the judiciary of the Islamic Republic of Iran, reported that Amirhossein Hatami, an 18-year-old detainee from the January 2026 protests in Tehran, was executed early this morning.
According to reports, his case was handled by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Salavati, and his death sentence was issued on February 7, 2026. He, along with four other protesters, had been charged with setting fire to a Basij base. Judicial authorities claimed that he confessed to the charges after being arrested by the IRGC Intelligence Organization.
However, media reports indicate that the site in question was set on fire by security forces. At the same time, limited information has been released about the judicial process, and reports suggest that the defendants were denied access to independent legal counsel during the early stages of the case. There have also been allegations that confessions were obtained under pressure.
The execution was carried out while four other defendants in the same case had previously been transferred from the general ward of Ghezel Hesar Prison to an undisclosed location and remain at risk of execution. In recent weeks, reports indicate that, under the cover of wartime conditions, the Islamic Republic has significantly escalated human rights violations, including the increased use of executions.
