Branch 15 of Iran’s Revolutionary Court, headed by Judge Abolghassem Salavati, has issued a death sentence for Mohammadamin Biglari, a 19-year-old detained during protests in Tehran, according to information shared with Iran International.

According to the information received, Biglari works at a men’s barbershop in Tehran and was arrested on January 8 while returning home from work.
The report said his mother has died and that authorities only informed his father of the arrest three weeks later, after he spent weeks searching for his son, including among bodies at Kahrizak morgue.
