Breathing in Confinement – Three political prisoners have been sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court of Ahvaz.
According to Breathing in Confinement, the news outlet of the Prisoners’ Rights League in Iran, Branch One of the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Ahvaz, presided over by Judge Adibi-Mehr, has sentenced three political prisoners held in Ahvaz prison — Farshad Etemadi-Far, Masoud Jamei, and Alireza Mordasi — to two death sentences and one year of discretionary imprisonment each. They were convicted on charges of “corruption on earth,” “membership in anti-regime groups,” and “propaganda against the regime.”
Farshad Etemadi-Far is from Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, while Masoud Jamei (Bavi) and Alireza Mordasi (Hamidawi) are Arab citizens. The three were arrested in 2023 in a joint case with Saman and Davoud Hormatnejad.
Masoud Jamei suffers from liver cancer and high blood pressure and has been denied access to specialised medical treatment. His wife and three children have also been tried by the Revolutionary Court of Bavi County on charges of “collaboration with anti-regime groups.”
These verdicts have been issued amid serious procedural irregularities, according to multiple reports. These include denial of access to chosen legal counsel, interference by security agencies in the judicial process, forced confessions under torture, and a lack of transparency in legal proceedings — all in violation of fair trial standards and Iran’s international obligations. This case exemplifies the escalating repression and intimidation of society.
In the same case, Davoud Hormatnejad has been sentenced to 15 years in prison, and Saman Hormatnejad to 12 years.
These rulings come amid intensified political and security crackdowns, regional developments, and the Islamic Republic’s failures in recent conflicts, and appear to follow directives from senior judicial authorities aimed at accelerating the issuance of verdicts.
