Iran’s Supreme Court confirmed a death sentence for a Malard protester and a 25-year prison term for his daughter, both reportedly tortured and denied legal representation throughout the judicial process.
Iran’s Supreme Court has upheld a death sentence for Mohammad Abbasi, a protester arrested during January demonstrations in Malard, while confirming a 25-year prison term for his 34-year-old daughter, Fatemeh Abbasi, who is the mother of a 13-year-old girl. The two are currently held in Qezel Hesar prison in Karaj and Evin prison in Tehran, respectively.
Sources told Iran International that both detainees were subjected to severe pressure and torture during interrogations and were denied legal representation at all stages of the judicial process, including interrogation, prosecution, trial, and Supreme Court review. Mohammad Abbasi was accused of “collaborating with Israel and killing a law enforcement officer,” while his daughter faces charges of “complicity.” Their initial sentences were issued by the notorious Judge Abolghasem Salavati of Branch 15 of Tehran’s Revolutionary Court.
