In the early hours of Saturday, July 31, 2026, the execution order for Arvin Khairkhahan, one of the detainees from the protests in December 2025, was carried out in Shahroud prison. This young protester had previously been sentenced to death by Branch 1 of the Shahroud Revolutionary Court on charges of "moharebeh" (waging war against God).

According to the news agency HRANA, the news organization of human rights activists in Iran, Arvin Khairkhahan's execution was carried out around four in the morning today.

A source close to the family of this prisoner confirmed the news to HRANA, stating that prison officials have not yet handed over his body to his relatives. According to this source, the family has been informed to come for the body at three in the morning tomorrow, and the funeral ceremony must take place at five in the morning.

Arvin Khairkhahan was arrested during the protests in December 2025 and was subsequently sentenced to death by Branch 1 of the Shahroud Revolutionary Court on charges of "moharebeh." This sentence was upheld without change after an appeal in the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court.

So far, no detailed information has been published regarding the time and manner of his arrest, the specifics of the charges, the interrogation process, the access this prisoner had to a chosen lawyer, and the evidence cited by the court for issuing the death sentence.

HRANA reported that Arvin Khairkhahan was 19 years and six months old at the time of his execution.
