HRANA – Ehsan Shams-Beigi, a resident of Shiraz who was arrested during the January 2026 protests, remains detained in legal limbo at Adelabad Prison in Shiraz, more than seven months after his arrest.

According to HRANA, Ehsan Shams Beigi remains in detention without resolution of his legal status.

According to information received by HRANA, Mr. Shams Beigi has been held in legal limbo at Adelabad Prison in Shiraz for more than seven months. An indictment in his case on charges including “moharebeh (enmity against God),” “propaganda against the regime,” and “assembly and collusion against national security” had previously been referred to Branch 1 of the Shiraz Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Sadati. However, after reviewing the case, the court rejected the aforementioned charges and returned his case to Branch 8 of the Shiraz Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office for further investigation, under the supervision of investigator Mehrdad Molaei.

A source familiar with his situation, whose identity has been withheld by HRANA, said: “During his detention, Ehsan has been subjected to pressure and threats by Ministry of Intelligence agents on several occasions in an effort to extract forced confessions.”

According to the source, despite repeated inquiries by Mr. Shams-Beigi’s family and lawyers with judicial authorities, they have yet to receive a clear response regarding the current status of his case or the proceedings concerning the charges against him.

He was arrested on January 11, 2026, during the nationwide protests, in the Darvazeh Saadi neighborhood of Shiraz. Following his arrest, he was transferred to the Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility in Shiraz and was eventually transferred to Adelabad Prison in the city.

Ehsan Shams-Beigi, 35, is originally from Kuhmareh Sorkhi in Fars Province and resides in Shiraz. Prior to his arrest, he worked as a construction worker.

HRANA has confirmed the identities of 16 defendants in the case known as the “Shohada Square of Isfahan” case. The individuals, who were arrested in connection with the January 2026 protests, face charges including “enmity against God (moharebeh)” and other national security-related offenses. They remain in legal limbo in Dastgerd and Dolatabad prisons in Isfahan.

According to HRANA, 16 individuals arrested during the 2026 protests in Isfahan remain in detention.

HRANA has identified the defendants as Armin Gholami, Sajjad Abedi Shapourabadi, Parsa Jafari, Mehdi Jafari, Ahmadreza Saeedi, Navid Elyasi, Abolfazl Dadgostar, Mehdi Mansouri, Hamed Mehralian, Mehdi Asadi, Setayesh Saedi, three brothers, Milad Boveyri (35), Mehrdad Boveyri (32), and Ali Boveyri (28), and 20-year-old twin sisters Taraneh Rahimi and Romina Rahimi. The female defendants are currently being held in Dolatabad Prison, while the male defendants are detained in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan.

A source familiar with the detainees’ situation confirmed to HRANA:

“Most of these individuals spent time in solitary confinement after their arrests. Many of them had experienced significant weight loss by the time they were transferred out of solitary confinement. They are now permitted to make phone calls and receive family visits.”

According to information received by HRANA, the defendants were tried in July 2026 before Judges Morteza Barati and Mohammadreza Tavakkoli on charges including “enmity against God (moharebeh) through carrying bladed weapons,” “destruction of public property constituting moharebeh,” “assembly and collusion against national security,” and “propaganda against the regime.” No verdict has yet been issued.

Based on HRANA’s documentation, two of the defendants are additionally charged with “complicity in moharebeh” and “complicity in the destruction of public property,” while Setayesh Saedi is charged solely with “assembly and collusion.”

The three Boveyri brothers, Milad, Mehrdad, and Ali, were arrested at 4:00 a.m. on January 24, 2026, when security forces raided their home in Isfahan. Following their arrests, the family’s two shoe stores were sealed by the authorities. Taraneh and Romina Rahimi, the twin sisters charged in the same case, were also arrested in February 2026.

HRANA had previously reported on the case involving these 16 detainees, which has become known as the “Shohada Square of Isfahan” case. Several of the defendants are charged with moharebeh. Their trial was held inside Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. Defense lawyers reportedly did not receive full access to the case files before the hearing, and one defendant told the judges in court that he had been subjected to torture during interrogation.

According to information obtained by HRANA, the case is also marked by uncertainties regarding the basis for several of the charges. During the events at Shohada Square in Isfahan, two people were killed, one identified as a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the other as a homeless civilian. However, the indictment against the defendants contains no specific murder charges related to either death. Instead, the proceedings have focused on charges including moharebeh, complicity in moharebeh, destruction of public property, assembly and collusion, and propaganda against the regime.

A source familiar with the proceedings told HRANA that no evidence was presented during the trial specifically demonstrating the defendants’ involvement in the deaths of the two individuals.

HRANA – Abolfazl Sepahi and Amirhossein Safari, two individuals arrested during the nationwide protests of January 2026, were publicly executed today, July 28, 2026, in Alikhani Square in Isfahan. They had been sentenced to death in the case known as the “Isfahan Alikhani Square” case. Erfan Esfandiari and Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, two other defendants in the same case, were executed several days earlier.

According to HRANA, the death sentences of Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani and Amirhossein Safari Hosseinabadi, both arrested during the January 2026 protests in Isfahan, were carried out.

Based on information received by HRANA, the executions were carried out at dawn today, Tuesday, July 28, 2026, in Alikhani Square in Isfahan. A knowledgeable source confirmed the news to HRANA, stating:

“The bodies of those executed have not yet been returned to their families. Meanwhile, the families of the other defendants in this case are gathered outside Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan, expressing concern that the death sentences against their children and relatives may also be carried out.”

The Judiciary’s Media Center has claimed that during the protests on January 8, 2026, in Alikhani Square, Isfahan, four law enforcement officers were killed. It further alleged that a number of protesters attacked security forces using firearms, bladed weapons, and incendiary materials, while also damaging public property. The judiciary additionally claimed that, following the attack on law enforcement personnel, the defendants committed violent acts, including setting fire to the bodies of those who had been killed.

According to the Judiciary’s Media Center, Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani and Amirhossein Safari Hosseinabadi were sentenced to death on charges including “membership in rebel groups acting against national security, moharebeh (enmity against God), spreading corruption on earth, destruction and arson of public property,” along with other related charges. The judiciary further claimed that after the verdicts were issued, the case was reviewed by the Supreme Court, which upheld the sentences, and that the executions were carried out following the completion of legal procedures.

However, HRANA has not been able to independently verify the claims made by the Judiciary’s Media Center.

According to information received by HRANA, the judicial proceedings in this case were marked by significant restrictions, including the defense lawyer’s lack of effective access to the case file, court hearings conducted via videoconference, families being denied information about the contents of the verdicts, and the court’s failure to consider defense evidence. Given the well-documented record of the Islamic Republic’s security and judicial institutions in relying on forced confessions, torture, and other forms of ill-treatment in security-related cases, serious concerns remain regarding compliance with fair trial standards and the defendants’ rights.

HRANA had previously reported that the proceedings against Alireza Sepahi and Abolfazl Sepahi were also marred by procedural shortcomings, including ineffective access to the case file by defense counsel, the inability to obtain a copy of the court’s ruling, hearings conducted via videoconference, and the court’s disregard for defense evidence. According to a source close to the family, they also remain uninformed about the details of the charges, the evidence relied upon by the court, and the full contents of the verdicts.

Erfan Esfandiari and Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, two other individuals sentenced to death in the so-called “Isfahan Alikhani Square” case, were executed in Isfahan on July 19, 2026.

In the initial trial, 15 defendants were sentenced to death. According to information provided by the defense lawyer, the death sentence of one defendant was overturned by the higher judicial authority, while the death sentences of the remaining 14 defendants were upheld.

The identities of 12 of those sentenced to death have been identified as:
Alireza Sepahi, Abolfazl Sepahi, Erfan Esfandiari, Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, Amirhossein Safari, Ghaem Hosseini, Shervin Bagherian, Amirhossein Maleki, Ali Dashti, Abolfazl Ebrahimi, Alireza Raisi, and Amirhossein Ebrahimi Analoucheh.
