Iran: Supreme Court Upholds Death Sentence for 22-Year-Old Student and PMOI Supporter Ehsan Faridi- Call to Save the Life of Ehsan and Other Political Prisoners on Death Row
The Supreme Court of the mullahs’ dictatorship has upheld the criminal death sentence of political prisoner Ehsan Faridi, a student imprisoned in Tabriz Prison. Yesterday (October 8, 2025), his lawyer announced: “Ehsan Faridi, a 22-year-old student at Tabriz University, who had previously been sentenced to death by Branch 3 of the Tabriz Revolutionary Court presided over by Judge Hassan Fathpour on the charge of ‘corruption on earth’, is now on the verge of execution following the Supreme Court’s approval of his sentence.”
Ehsan Faridi was arrested on June 18, 2024, and in May 2025 was sentenced to death on the fabricated charge of “corruption on earth” for supporting the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The basis for this criminal verdict consisted solely of reports from interrogators and torturers of the Ministry of Intelligence.
The Iranian Resistance calls for the urgent intervention of the United Nations, relevant international bodies, the European Union, and its member states to prevent the execution of Ehsan Faridi and other political prisoners sentenced to death. On the eve of the World Day Against the Death Penalty, it is time for the regime of executions and terror to be condemned and isolated by the international community, and for its bloodstained leaders to be brought to justice.
