The judiciary of the Islamic Republic has announced the execution of "Majid Adineh," another detainee from the protests in December 2024 in Karaj.

According to a report by Tasnim citing the judiciary, this sentence was carried out on Sunday morning, September 1, 2025.

Majid Adineh was arrested on January 9, 2024, in the Mohammadshahr area of Karaj. Judicial authorities have claimed that at the time of his arrest, he was in possession of a handgun, three magazines, 30 bullets, two electric shockers, two tear gas canisters, a rechargeable electric saw, and a bottle of gasoline.

The judiciary has referred to the December protests as a "coup" according to the official narrative of the Islamic Republic and has accused Adineh of collaborating with the U.S., Israel, and what it calls "hostile groups."

The Revolutionary Court of Karaj sentenced him to death and confiscation of property on charges of "waging war through intentional arson" based on a law known as "increased penalties for espionage and collaboration with the Zionist regime and hostile countries."

No information has been released regarding Adineh's access to a chosen lawyer, the judicial process, the timing of the court proceedings, or how his statements were obtained.

The execution of Majid Adineh is part of the ongoing implementation of death sentences against detainees from the December protests. More than 30 countries issued a joint statement on August 12, 2025, condemning the continued issuance and execution of death sentences for Iranian protesters as a tool to "silence dissenting voices."

Amnesty International has also reported that the Islamic Republic executed at least 2,159 people in 2025.
