Babak Paknia, a defense attorney, tweeted that in the Ekbatan case, the judges of Branch Thirteen of the Criminal Court One have issued death sentences for Milad Armon, Alireza Kafaei, Amir Mohammad Khosh-Eghbal, Navid Najaran, Hossein Nemati, and Alireza Bamarzpournak. This ruling can still be appealed. News of the death sentences for several defendants in the "Ekbatan Kids" case has once again sparked significant reactions. This case, related to the Ekbatan protests during the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, has now entered a critical phase with the issuance of severe sentences for six detainees. These sentences were issued by the Criminal Court One in Tehran, with charges such as “moharebeh” (enmity against God) and “efsad-e-fel-arz” (corruption on earth). Under the Islamic Republic's penal code, these charges can lead to the death penalty. The issuance of these sentences and the ongoing trials of other detainees from recent protests have raised international concerns and sparked widespread reactions from human rights activists. The international community and human rights organizations have intensified their responses to these rulings, urging the Islamic Republic to refrain from carrying out the sentences and to address the protesters' demands. This development remains highly sensitive from both human rights and social security perspectives, both inside and outside Iran, with no clear resolution in sight for this ongoing crisis.
