The Judiciary of the Islamic Republic announced on June 3, that it carried out the execution of Fathollah Avari, one of those arrested during the nationwide uprising in Hamadan.
Mizan News Agency, affiliated with the Judiciary, claimed that Avari was sentenced to qisas (retaliation) and executed for the murder of Police Colonel Mohammad-Javad Bakhshian.
According to the official narrative published by the Judiciary, on the evening of January 7, during the protests, the officer became separated from his unit, was beaten, and later died in hospital.
Reports note that the death sentence was issued based on “evidence, indications, and the defendant’s confessions”, a claim that has raised serious concerns about fair trials and the possibility of forced confessions in protest-related cases.
