Iran Supreme Court upholds father's death, daughter's 25-year sentence

Iran's Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence for Mohammad Abbasi and a 25-year prison sentence for his daughter, Fatemeh Abbasi. The two were arrested during protests in Malard in January 2026 and convicted by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati. Mohammad Abbasi is currently held in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, while his daughter is imprisoned in Evin. The case highlights the severe judicial crackdown on dissent following the 2026 protests.
