Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the death sentence of political prisoner Manouchehr Fallah on charges of PMOI membership, transferring the case to the Implementation of Verdicts Office in Rasht and placing him at imminent risk of execution after repeated judicial proceedings.

Security forces arrested Ali Alipour, father of executed PMOI member Babak Alipour, while other relatives including brother Rouzbeh remain detained, extending pressure across generations and denying the family access to Babak’s remains.

The regime’s Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of political prisoner Manouchehr Fallah, while security forces have arrested Ali Alipour, father of executed PMOI member Babak Alipour.
