An Iranian court has sentenced a protester to death for allegedly killing a security officer during nationwide demonstrations, while the government cautions students against crossing 'red lines' in their protests.
A court in Iran has issued a death sentence for a protester named Mohammad Abbasi, who was accused of committing 'moharebeh' (war against God) by killing a security officer amid protests in January. The judgment, reported by Reuters, has not yet been officially announced by the Iranian judiciary, nor has it received confirmation from the Supreme Court. In connection with these events, Abbasi's daughter, Fatemeh Abbasi, has also received a 25-year prison sentence for her involvement in the protests, raising concerns about the fairness of the legal representation provided to both of them, as they were unable to choose their attorney and were appointed a public defender instead.
