April 24, 2021: Seyyed Sadrollah Fazeli Zare is the second man sentenced to death for having "insulted the Prophet Mohammed". Two Iranians have been sentenced to death by a Criminal Court in central Iran for “insulting the Prophet Muhammad”. The two men were arrested and transferred to prison in Arak, the capital of Markazi Province, in May 2020. Both were informed about their death sentences on April 22. The two prisoners have been identified as Yusef Mehrdad from the northwestern city of Ardabil and Seyyed Sadrollah Fazeli Zare. The 1st Branch of the Arak Criminal Court sentenced Yusef and the other prisoner to death for “insulting the prophet” and “blasphemy”, which carry the death penalty. It was not clear what the charge stemmed from. Before his arrest, Seyyed Sadrullah Fazeli Zare worked as a cabinetmaker and took care of his elderly mother.
