Ebrahim Dolatabadi, who was arrested during the January 2026 protests in Mashhad, was executed in the early hours of May 3, 2026, in Vakilabad Prison. Reports indicate that the execution was carried out without prior notification and in secrecy, with the news only made public a day later. With this case, the number of individuals executed in connection with these protests has risen to at least eleven.
Mizan News Agency, the official media outlet of the judiciary, described him after the execution as one of the “leaders” of the recent protests on Tabarsi Boulevard in Mashhad, alleging that he had links to Israel and the United States and had conducted operational activities on their behalf. However, informed sources emphasize that the judicial process lacked transparency and that no credible evidence was presented to substantiate these accusations.
