The "Iran Human Rights Organization" announced that "Mahdi Roshani," a detained protester related to the protests on January 6, 2025, in the city of Malekshahi, has been sentenced to death on security charges.

On Monday, August 2, 2026, this organization reported that Mahdi Roshani was arrested at his home on January 21 and transferred to Tehran. According to the Iran Human Rights Organization, he was kept in complete isolation for two months after his arrest and was subjected to severe torture to obtain forced confessions; confessions that, according to this organization, formed the basis for the death sentence.

The Iran Human Rights Organization, citing an informed source, claimed that one of the individuals who saw Mahdi Roshani after his return from Tehran observed extensive signs of torture on his body.

This individual stated: "If you saw his body, you would be horrified. There was not a single intact spot on it. It was full of marks from electric shocks and whips, but he had refused to confess."

According to this report, Mahdi Roshani was released on bail in late May 2026, but about two weeks later, security forces arrested him again, and since then, he has been in complete isolation.

This source also mentioned that Mahdi Roshani's family has been pressured and warned to remain silent about his case. According to this source, about a month ago, his family was informed that he had been sentenced to death on charges including the murder of "Ehsan Aghajani," a police officer.

According to published reports, Ehsan Aghajani was killed during the protests on January 6 in Malekshahi.
