The Islamic Republic executed Alireza Sepahi, one of the detainees from the protests of January 2025.

  • The news agency "Mizan," affiliated with the judiciary of the Islamic Republic, reported the execution of Alireza Sepahi Badjani, known as Alireza Sepahi, in the early hours of Tuesday, October 5, 2026, in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan.

  • Alireza Sepahi's lawyer announced yesterday that the family of Alireza Sepahi had been summoned for a visit with him and that this prisoner had been transferred to solitary confinement, warning of the imminent execution of his sentence.

  • Before his execution, Alireza Sepahi got engaged to his fiancée over the phone. Mahshad Kashani, a 22-year-old student residing in Isfahan, was also arrested during the January 2025 protests and sentenced to five years in prison, currently incarcerated in the women's prison of Dowlatabad in Isfahan.

  • Alireza Sepahi was scheduled to be executed at dawn on Tuesday, August 6, 2026, along with his cousin Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani and Amir Hossein Safarihosseini in Malekshahr, Isfahan, in public. However, due to stress, he suffered a heart attack before the execution, delaying the carrying out of his sentence.

  • Alireza Sepahi is the fourth citizen arrested during the January 2025 protests whose death sentence has been carried out in the past week following a statement from 46 countries condemning executions in Iran. Siavash Jamshidi Kheirabadi was executed on Saturday, October 2, in Shahrekord, and Ali Hemmati Sistani and Majid Nikandish were executed on Wednesday, October 4, in Mashhad.

Security agencies of the Islamic Republic claimed that four Basij and special forces were killed during these protests.

  • With the execution of Alireza Sepahi, six defendants in the "Ali Khani Square case" have been executed. Erfan Esfandiari and Gol Mohammad Mohammadi were executed on July 19. Abolfazl Sepahi and Amir Hossein Safarihosseini were hanged in public on August 6 in "Ali Khani Square," and Ghaem Hosseini was executed on August 20 in the central prison of Isfahan (Dastgerd).
