An informed source told Iran International that Mohsen (Mehrdad) Takash, a 33-year-old citizen in Isfahan, has been sentenced to death twice on charges of moharebeh (waging war against God) in connection with the protests of last December.

Takash, a resident of Dizicheh in Isfahan, was arrested during the crackdown on protests in the last week of December. The informed source stated that he was severely tortured during his detention, resulting in a broken hand due to the torture.

According to this source, Takash was forced under pressure and torture to accept the accusations attributed to him by interrogators, and these coerced confessions became the basis for the case and the issuance of a verdict against him.

Takash's family was not accurately informed about his whereabouts and condition for about four months after his arrest. After four months of uncertainty, he contacted his family from Ward A of the Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan.

The informed source told Iran International that apart from the confessions obtained under pressure and torture, there is no other document or evidence to substantiate the charges against him in the case.

Before his arrest, Mohsen Takash owned a motorcycle repair shop in Dizicheh and earned a living from this work.
