3 July 2025<\/strong> Breathing in Confinement<\/strong> \u2013 Razgar Beikzadeh Babamiri, a political prisoner and one of those arrested during the 2022 nationwide protests, has been sentenced to death by Iran\u2019s judiciary.<\/p>\n According to Breathing in Confinement, the news outlet of the Prisoners\u2019 Rights League in Iran, Razgar’s daughter, Zhino Beikzadeh, announced the sentence on her personal account on the social media platform X.<\/p>\n Razgar Beikzadeh Babamiri, a 47-year-old farmer from Bukan, was arrested on 17 April 2023 for \u201cproviding medicine and medical assistance to injured protesters\u201d and \u201cusing Starlink satellite internet.\u201d Human rights sources report that he now faces the heavy sentence of death solely for his humanitarian efforts to save the lives of wounded protesters.<\/p>\n Reports state that following his arrest, Razgar Beikzadeh was subjected to severe physical and psychological torture for nearly six months \u2014 first in the detention facility of the Intelligence Department and later in Urmia Prison. Methods of torture reportedly included waterboarding, electric shocks, and mock executions by hanging and firing squad.<\/p>\n The Revolutionary Court of Urmia, presided over by Judge Reza Najafzadeh, had previously sentenced him to 15 years in prison for \u201ccomplicity in the killing of a security officer.\u201d That ruling was upheld by the provincial appeals court without a thorough review and through a non-transparent process.<\/p>\n Breathing in <\/em>Confinement, the news outlet of the Prisoners\u2019 Rights League in Iran, expressed grave concern over the death sentence issued for Razgar Beikzadeh Babamiri and called for its immediate revocation. It also urged international human rights bodies to intervene and halt the escalating use and implementation of death sentences in Iran.<\/p>\n Sentencing someone to death for providing medical and humanitarian aid to injured protesters is not only a blatant violation of fundamental human rights but also a clear sign of how the judiciary is abusing capital punishment as a tool to suppress civil dissent and intimidate society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 3 July 2025News Category: Prisoners Breathing in Confinement – Razgar Beikzadeh Babamiri, a political prisoner and one of those arrested during the 2022 nationwide protests, has been sentenced to death by Iran’s judiciary.
