Reports indicate that the death sentences of Ehsan Hosseinipour Hesarloo, Matin Mohammadi, and Erfan Amiri, three individuals arrested during the January 2026 protests, have been upheld by the Supreme Court and sent for implementation. This development has intensified concerns about the imminent risk of their execution.
The three were reportedly 17 and 18 years old at the time of their arrest. They were prosecuted in connection with a case involving the burning of a mosque in Pakdasht, in Tehran province, and faced a range of charges before the Tehran Revolutionary Court, including national security-related offenses, participation in murder, and destruction and arson of property. Judiciary-affiliated media have portrayed them as key actors in the incident.
According to available information, the case against them has relied heavily on confessions and reports by security bodies. However, sources have raised serious allegations that these confessions were obtained under coercion, including threats and torture—practices that fundamentally undermine the credibility of such evidence and violate fair trial standards.
Additional reports point to harsh detention conditions and sustained pressure aimed at forcing the accused to admit guilt. It is also alleged that they were denied adequate access to legal safeguards during critical stages of the proceedings.
Given their young age at the time of arrest and the significant due process concerns surrounding their case, the confirmation of their death sentences has prompted widespread alarm among human rights observers.
