CHILDREN AMONG 30 PEOPLE FACING UPRISING-RELATED DEATH PENALTY

Iran UA 6.26

Following repeated threats of expedited executions, Iranian authorities have sentenced at least eight people to death in February 2026. At least 22 others, including two children, are at risk of the death penalty amid fast-tracked torture-tainted grossly unfair trials for alleged offenses committed during the January 2026 uprising.

Dear Mr. Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei,

I am gravely concerned for the 30+ individuals who are facing the death penalty in relation to alleged offenses committed in the context of the January 2026 protests. They include eight people sentenced to death within weeks of their arrests – Saleh Mohammadi, 18, Mohammad Amin Biglari, 19, Ali Fahim, Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani, Amirhossein Hatami, Shahin Vahedparast Kolor, Shahab Zohdi, and Yaser Rajaifar. Others being tried in fast-tracked grossly unfair proceedings for capital offenses include Mohammad Abbasi, 55; Mohammadreza Tabary and three friends: 18-year-old Ehsan Hosseinipour Hessarlou and two 17-year-old children, Matin Mohammadi and Erfan Amiri, who as children must be excluded from the imposition of the death penalty under international law.

On February 12, 2026, a Revolutionary Court judge in Tehran told 14 others, including protester Abolfazl Karimi, 35, that “they are being sentenced to death”. The organization has also learned that 18-year Danial Niazi has been charged with a capital offense. Interrogators told two others – Shervin Bagherian Jebeli, 18, and Amirhossein Azarpira, 24, that they will face the death penalty.

I urge you to immediately quash the convictions and death sentences; refrain from imposing death sentences and ensure that anyone charged with a recognizable criminal offense is tried in accordance with international fair trial standards without recourse to the death penalty and excluding statements obtained under torture and other ill-treatment or without a lawyer present. I also urge you to release all those detained solely for exercising their human rights including the right of peaceful assembly and expression; protect all detainees from torture and other ill-treatment and investigate claims; disclose the fate and whereabouts of individuals forcibly disappeared; grant access to families, lawyers of their own choosing, adequate defense facilities and medical care; and allow international monitors access to detention facilities and trial sessions.

Yours sincerely,
