A revolutionary court in Tehran has issued a death sentence for an Iranian man accused of ‘enmity against god’, which if confirmed would be the first such sentence linked to mass protests in January, a source close to the man’s family said.
The source told Reuters yesterday that Iran’s judiciary had not yet announced the sentence against the man, Mohammad Abbasi, and that Iran’s Supreme Court was yet to uphold it.
Abbasi was accused of killing a security officer. During the unrest, US President Donald Trump warned Tehran that he could order military action if it carried out executions.
