IRAN - Death Sentence of Naser Bekrzadeh Overturned
October 31, 2025: October 31, 2025 - IRAN. Death Sentence of Naser Bekrzadeh Overturned for the Second Time
Political prisoner charged of espionage for Israel
Based on information obtained by HRANA, Bekrzadeh’s death sentence was recently overturned by the Supreme Court, and the decision was officially communicated to him on October 29. The political prisoner, who is being held in Urmia Prison’s political ward, is now awaiting the scheduling of a new hearing and the designation of a new court branch to review his case.
In September 2025, Branch 2 of the Urmia Revolutionary Court had sentenced Bekrzadeh to death on charges of “espionage for Israel” for the second time.
In November 2024, he had initially been sentenced to death by Branch Three of the Revolutionary Court of Urmia on charges of “espionage for Israel and collaboration with Mossad intelligence services.” That ruling was overturned by the Supreme Court in April 2025, which referred the case to another branch for reconsideration.
Naser Bekrzadeh, about 26 years old, was arrested in January 2024. He was held for a period in the IRGC’s intelligence detention facility in Urmia, where he was subjected to interrogation. According to a source close to his family, this process involved violations of his basic rights, including being denied contact and visits with his family.
