The Iranian regime hastily executed imprisoned protester Mohsen Shekari, 23, on the morning of Thursday, December 8, 2022.
The Iranian Supreme Court rejected the appeal for Mohsen Shekari’s death sentence on the charge of Moharebeh (waging war on God) and carried out the sentence Thursday morning.
Shekari is the first Iran protester executed by the Iranian Judiciary.
Shekari was accused of using a machete against a member of Bassij, creating fear and terror, disrupting security by blocking Sattarkhan Ave. in Tehran, and deliberately wounding a Bassij member while on duty.
Mohsen Shekari’s first trial was held on November 1 at the Revolutionary Court of Tehran. The preliminary death verdict was issued on November 20 and subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court.
Massoud Setayeshi, the Judiciary Spokesman, had announced that the death penalties for seven arrested protesters on the charge of “Corruption on Earth” and “waging war on God (Moharebeh)” had already been issued.
