IRAN - Three More Protesters Sentenced To Death
January 10, 2023: Three More Protesters Sentenced To Death Javad Rouhi, Kimia Javadi and Mehdi Mohammadifar Reports say three more Iranian citizens arrested during antigovernment protests in Iran’s northern city of Nowshahr, have been sentenced to death. The three are identified as Javad Rouhi, Kimia Javadi and Mehdi Mohammadifar. Mizan news agency affiliated with the judiciary said Tuesday that Javad Rouhi, 35, was sentenced to death on charges of "corruption on earth" and "moharebeh" or “War against God”. The Judiciary claimed Javad Rouhi has been one of the leaders of the protests in the city and insulted the religious sanctities by setting fire to Quran. Mizan claimed that five people have been killed during the protests in Nowshahr on December 11 when Javad Rouhi “was leading the unrest”. The accusations come as the regime does not let the defendants have access to their lawyers and holds sham trials based on forced confessions. Mizan wrote that the decision can be appealed in the Supreme Court.
