Mohammad Amini Dehaghani, arrested during the January 2026 protests, was executed in the early hours of Wednesday, July 15, 2026, after the Supreme Court upheld his sentence, according to the media center of the Islamic Republic’s judiciary.
Iranian judicial authorities claim Amini Dehaghani was arrested during the protests of January 9, 2026, in Dehaghan, Isfahan Province, and was tried and sentenced to death on charges of “setting fire to the Dehaghan governorate building and police station with Molotov cocktails” and “destroying public property in the city’s Imam Hossein Square.” Officials have also claimed the case rested on CCTV footage and the defendant’s confessions.
As of this report, however, no independent information or documentation has emerged regarding how the judicial process unfolded, how his confessions were obtained, whether he had access to a lawyer of his choosing, or whether basic fair trial guarantees were respected, leaving serious doubt over whether this case met the Islamic Republic of Iran’s international obligations, particularly in a case carrying the death penalty.
