Manouchehr Fallah, an Iranian political prisoner, was sentenced to death following a trial criticized for its lack of due process. Originally arrested in 2023, he faced new charges after serving a prior sentence. Calls for international action to address his case and support human rights in Iran are intensifying.
Political prisoner Manouchehr Fallah has received a death sentence from Iran’s judiciary, presided over by Judge Mohammad Ali Darvish Goftar at the Revolutionary Court in Rasht. Convicted on charges of “enmity against God (Moharebeh),” he is currently held at Lakan Prison and was denied legal counsel during his trial.
Manouchehr Fallah, aged 40, was tried via videoconference on December 11, 2024. He faced allegations of damaging properties linked to the IRGC Intelligence and the Gilan Judiciary. Critics of the process have highlighted significant violations of due legal procedures, primarily his lack of access to effective legal representation.
The situation surrounding Manouchehr Fallah underscores the alarming pattern of human rights violations in Iran, particularly against political dissenters. The Iranian Resistance, alongside human rights advocates, emphasizes the necessity for international intervention to reverse his death sentence and liberate all political prisoners.
