Iran Supreme Court upholds death sentences for teen protesters

Iran's Supreme Court has upheld the death sentences of three young citizens arrested during the nationwide protests of January 2026.

With the judicial process complete, the three are now at imminent risk of execution. The case highlights the severe crackdown on dissent following the 2026 protests.
