The death sentence of Manouchehr Fallah, a prisoner held in Lakan Prison in Rasht, has once again been confirmed by the Supreme Court, and his case has been sent to the criminal enforcement department in Rasht for execution.

According to a report by "Emtedad," he is under severe psychological pressure due to the repeated confirmation and annulment of the sentence. Manouchehr Fallah was initially sentenced to death by the second branch of the Revolutionary Court in Rasht on the charge of "destruction with the intent to confront the Islamic government." The basis for this sentence was the infliction of 15 million tomans in damage to the door of the Rasht courthouse.

The initial ruling was upheld by the Supreme Court, but after a request for retrial, Milad Panahipour, Fallah's lawyer, announced its annulment at the end of 1404 (2025).

The case was then referred for re-examination to the equivalent branch, the first branch of the Revolutionary Court in Rasht. Judge Darvishgathar in this branch once again issued a death sentence; a ruling that has now also been confirmed by the Supreme Court.

The referral of the case to the enforcement department has heightened concerns about the risk of execution. The published report did not specify a timeline for the execution of the sentence.
