Summary

  • Twelve people arrested during January protests in Isfahan had their death sentences upheld by Iran’s Supreme Court on July 5 in the Alikhani Square case.
  • Dadban said the case has now been sent to the Enforcement of Judgments Branch of the Revolutionary Court in Isfahan, moving the sentences toward implementation.
  • The ruling surfaced alongside new reports that security forces opened fire on people celebrating Ali Khamenei’s death, with Hengaw identifying two women killed in late February.
  • The case adds to broader evidence of an intensified crackdown after this year’s unrest, including mass arrests, executions and pressure on dissent across Iran.
