Verdicts On Basij Militia Death Confirmed By Iran’s Supreme Court

Iran's Supreme Court has upheld verdicts for detained protesters linked to the death of Basij member Rouhollah Ajamian, except for minor protester Arian Farzamnia.

Alborz Province Chief Justice Hossein Fazeli Harkandi confirmed, "The country's Supreme Court has finalized the verdicts for detained protesters tied to Rouhollah Ajamian's death, excluding Arian Farzamnia."

The sentences include harsh penalties. Hamid Qarahasanlou received a 15-year prison term in exile, wich would mean incarceration in a remote region. Reza Aria, Hossein Mohammadi, and Mehdi Mohammadi each got 10 years in prison.

Others involved faced sentences. "Mohammad Amin Akhlaghi Savojbolaghi, Amin Mehdi Shokrollahi, and Farzaneh Qarahasanlou were sentenced to five years in prison in exile. Ali Mozaffari Goodarzi got three years in prison," Chief Fazeli Harkandi stated.

For Arian Farzamnia, under 18, Fazeli Harkandi noted the verdict's medical forensic evaluation by the Supreme Court. A new verdict by the Revolutionary Court of Alborz Province will follow.

This development follows ongoing fairness and transparency concerns in the Ajamian case. Fourteen protestors received up to 15-year sentences, criticized by human rights advocates.

Ajjamian died near Tehran in November, allegedly by a group termed "rioters" by the regime. The Basij militia member suffered fatal assault and humiliation.

Executions of Mohammad Mehdi Karami and Mohammad Hossein in connection with Ajamian's death raised due process concerns. Swift trials without representation were involved.

These events spotlight wider protests across Iran, demanding justice and ending oppressive policies. The regime's harsh response and heavy sentences reflect determination to quell dissent and resist change.
