MOHAMMAD NADER'S DEATH SENTENCE UPHELD BY THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC'S SUPREME COURT

The Islamic Republic’s Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of Mohammad Naderi, a prisoner currently held at Qezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, on charges of “espionage.”

Naderi had previously been sentenced to death by Branch 23 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court. According to information released on October 29, 2026, the allegations against him include using Starlink satellite internet, photographing certain locations, and sending images to media outlets outside Iran.

Naderi was arrested by security forces in Tehran on March 17, 2026, and initially transferred to the Greater Tehran Prison. He was moved to Qezel Hesar Prison in Karaj in September–October 2026.

With his death sentence now upheld by the Supreme Court, Naderi faces the imminent risk of execution.
