Iran Sentences Father of Executed Protester to Six Years in Prison

Mashallah Karami, who campaigned for his son's clemency, faces charges of organizing illegal gatherings and propaganda against the regime.

Mashallah Karami's son, Mohammad Mehdi Karami, was executed in January 2023 for his involvement in the 2022 protests.
Karami was arrested in August 2023 and has been sentenced by the Revolutionary Court in Karaj.
Human rights groups criticize the trial as unfair and highlight ongoing abuses by Iranian authorities.
Amnesty International reports that at least eight others are at risk of execution related to the 2022 protests.
Karami's lawyer plans to appeal the verdict, citing legal flaws in the court's decision.
