These included the absence of a clearly stated charge that could legally justify issuing a death sentence. As a result, the Court annulled the ruling issued by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court and returned the case to the same branch for reconsideration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1293\">Ms Moradi had been sentenced to death in <strong data-start=\"1136\" data-end=\"1153\">November 2024<\/strong> by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge <strong data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1248\">Abolghasem Salavati<\/strong>, on the charge of \u201cbaghi\u201d (armed rebellion).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1832\">The Supreme Court\u2019s ruling clearly demonstrates that the judicial process in similar cases fails to comply with fundamental legal principles and standards of fair trial. Deficiencies in the investigation, the failure to properly and transparently inform the accused of the charges, and violations of legal procedures in issuing a death sentence are not only contrary to Iran\u2019s domestic laws but also in serious conflict with the country\u2019s international human rights obligations, including the right to a fair trial and the right to life.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"2117\">These circumstances raise deep concern about the hasty issuance of severe sentences without meeting minimum due-process standards, as well as the lack of transparency and repeated violations of defendants\u2019 rights in political and security-related cases heard in Revolutionary Courts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 December 2025News category: Prisoners Breathing in Confinement &ndash; The death sentence of Varisheh Moradi has been overturned by the Supreme Court following an appeal citing procedural violations during the trial.
