The Judiciary of the Islamic Republic executed "Ghaem Hosseini," known as "Arian," on Thursday morning, August 29, 1405 (according to the Persian calendar), in connection with the protests in Isfahan in December. He is the fifth person to be executed in the case known as "Ali Khani Square."

The Mizan news agency, the media outlet of the Judiciary, introduced Hosseini as a "foreign national," but did not disclose his nationality. The report also did not provide information about the time of his arrest or the place of detention.

The Judiciary accused Hosseini of "interfering in the events of Ali Khani Square in Isfahan," brandishing a weapon, creating widespread fear and insecurity, and acting against national security. According to reports from state media, his death sentence was confirmed and carried out after a review of the appeal in the Supreme Court.

Previously, the Judiciary had executed "Abulfazl Sepahi," "Amir Hossein Safari," "Erfan Esfandiari," and "Gol Mohammad Mohammadi" [the cousin of Ghaem Hosseini] in connection with the same case. Mizan also reported that indictments had been issued for 16 individuals in this case.

Shervin Bagherian, Amir Hossein Maleki, and Alireza Sepahi are three other condemned individuals in this case, about whom no clear information regarding their final sentences and current status has been published.
