In the early hours of today, April 21, 2026, Amirali Mirjafari, who had been detained during the January 2026 protests, was executed.
Mizan News Agency, affiliated with the judiciary of the Islamic Republic of Iran, announced the execution and accused him of cooperating with foreign intelligence bodies, involvement in violent acts, and playing a leading role in the unrest.
However, no independent information is available regarding the details of his case, the legal process, or the evidence presented against him. Reports rely largely on statements attributed to him, while there is no transparency about the conditions under which these statements were obtained or whether fair trial standards were respected. There are also apparent inconsistencies between some of the charges and the reported statements.
According to official sources, court sessions were held with the presence of a lawyer and the death sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court. Still, no verifiable details about the proceedings have been made public.
His execution comes amid a broader wave of arrests following the January 2026 protests, during which many individuals were detained and some sentenced to severe punishments, including the death penalty. Recent reports point to an increase in executions, particularly in cases involving political and security-related charges, raising serious human rights concerns.
