Political prisoner belonging to the MEK (Mujahedin-e-Khalgh, also known as The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran) The death sentence of Mansour Jamali, a political prisoner held in Choobindar Prison in Qazvin, has been upheld by Iran’s Supreme Court. He had previously been sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court of Qazvin on the charge of “enmity against God” (moharebeh). Recent days have shown a sharp increase in developments related to the sentencing and execution of political prisoners compared to the previous month.
A source familiar with the case, while confirming the news, told HRANA: “Recently, Mansour Jamali’s death sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court and was formally communicated to him in prison two days ago. This political prisoner had previously been sentenced to death by Branch One of the Revolutionary Court of Qazvin, presided over by Esmail Asadi, on the charge of ‘moharebeh through membership in the MEK organization.’” According to information received by HRANA, the indictment in his case was referred to court after 15 months. During both his detention and the judicial proceedings, he was denied access to a lawyer of his own choosing.
Mansour Jamali, born in 1970 in Urmia, holds a high school diploma. He is the father of two children and has worked as a sports coach in various disciplines. Mr. Jamali was arrested in October 2023 in Buin Zahra County. He is currently being held in Choobindar Prison, Qazvin.
