Mohammadreza Tabari

Mohammadreza Tabari is a 50-year-old native of Bojnourd. He voluntarily surrendered to authorities after participating in the protests in Baharestan, Tehran, on 8 January. During his trial, which was broadcast by state media on 7 February, he appeared visibly distressed and was reprimanded by the judge. His court-appointed lawyer offered no substantive defence, merely requesting a mitigated sentence based on his surrender. 

Mohammadreza was transferred to Ghezelhesar Prison on 10 January, where he is currently detained.

Charges: Moharebeh (enmity against God) “by brandishing a firearm with the intention of intimidating the public and the security forces, as well as carrying out operational actions in support of monarchist groups affiliated with the accursed Zionist regime, and instilling public fear and terror by firing at security forces.”

Status: Sentenced to death by the Tehran Revolutionary Court.
