Mohammadreza Majidi-Asl and his wife Bita Hemmati received death sentences from Tehran's Revolutionary Court. The charge: 'acting on behalf of the United States.' The evidence: throwing bottles, concrete blocks, and incendiary materials from a rooftop. For that - death.

Bita Hemmati is the first woman sentenced to death for participating in the January 2026 protests. Her 'privilege' included a personal interrogation by judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei - in front of state television cameras, naturally. Transparency, Iranian-style.

The numbers speak for themselves: seven people already executed for the protests, 26 more awaiting death sentences. Iran executed 656 people in just the first three months of 2026 - after 1,639 in all of 2025, including 48 women. Human rights organizations claim trials used 'coerced confessions obtained through torture' without access to legal counsel.

At the moment when the US is blockading Iranian ports and the world debates nuclear deals, Iran is quietly executing citizens who dared to protest. Who's discussing this at the negotiations in Pakistan?
