Benyamin Naghdi, a 26-year-old athlete from Shiraz, specializing in kickboxing and Muay Thai, is currently in detention on charges of “waging war against God” (moharebeh) and is being held in solitary confinement. These reports indicate that his execution may be carried out in the very near future, possibly within the coming hours.
Relatives say the family has been denied all forms of contact or visitation. His mother, who recently went to collect his personal belongings, was not allowed to see him or even hear his voice. This has further intensified concerns about his condition.
Naghdi was arrested on January 3, 2026. Shortly afterward, state-affiliated media broadcast a video presented as his “confession.” Sources indicate that these statements were obtained under pressure and without access to basic legal rights. There have also been allegations that he was subjected to torture to extract these confessions.
Available information indicates that since his arrest, no clear or official details have been released regarding his place of detention, physical condition, or the status of his case. Prior to his arrest, he had been active as an athlete and had participated in international competitions.
Given his prolonged solitary confinement, lack of contact with his family, and the reported urgency surrounding his sentence, concerns for Benyamin Naghdi’s life and well-being have significantly increased.
