Mohammad Abbasi, one of the detainees from the January 2026 (Dey 1404) nationwide protests, was executed at dawn on Wednesday, May 13 (23 Ordibehesht) at Karaj’s Ghezel Hesar Prison; an execution where even the right to a final visit was denied to his family.
His death sentence had previously been issued by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Abolghasem Salavati, and subsequently upheld by Branch 39 of the Supreme Court. Abbasi was arrested in connection with the killing of Shahin Dehghani Kakavandi, a lieutenant colonel in the law enforcement forces in Malard, and was sentenced to death on the charge of “Moharebeh” (enmity against God).
In the same case, the 25-year prison sentence for Fatemeh Abbasi, Mohammad Abbasi’s daughter, was also upheld without change by the Supreme Court. She is currently imprisoned in the women's ward of Evin Prison.
According to a source close to the Abbasi family, prison authorities had initially asked the family to go to Ghezel Hesar for a final meeting, but once they arrived, permission to visit was denied. After leaving the prison, the family learned only through a telephone call that Mohammad Abbasi’s execution had been carried out.
