🔸The Iranian Judiciary's media center denied reports regarding the issuance of a death sentence for Erfan Soltani, a young protester whose family had provided this information to human rights organizations.

This report comes after the family of this young man had previously informed human rights organizations that judicial officials had told them that his death sentence was "issued and final" and would be carried out on Wednesday, January 24.
