Detained teen Iranian protester at risk of being sentenced to death

Feb 8, 2026, 15:20 GMT+0

A 19-year-old detained protester is facing charges that could carry the death penalty, people familiar with the matter told Iran International.

Mohammad Karimkhani has been accused of “espionage” and “collaboration with Israel” in connection with nationwide protests and allegations that he “made Molotov cocktails and possessed wartime ammunition,” according to the indictment.

Karimkhani is at risk of being issued a death sentence, the sources told Iran International.

Sources told Iran International that judicial authorities have so far prevented Karimkhani from accessing legal counsel.
