Mizan News Agency, the media outlet of the Islamic Republic’s Judiciary, reported on Monday morning, May 11, the execution of Erfan Shakourzadeh.
Mizan announced his charges as “collaboration with American and Israeli intelligence services,” yet failed to provide any independent details regarding the judicial process, his access to legal counsel, or how the case was handled.
Erfan Shakourzadeh was arrested in February 2025 by the IRGC Intelligence Organization and was executed following the confirmation of his sentence by the Supreme Court. The implementation of this verdict once again severely heightens concerns regarding the use of security charges and the systematic deprivation of defendants’ rights to a fair trial.
