Abbas Akbari Feyzabadi

Abbas Akbari Feyzabadi was executed on 25 May 2026 in Isfahan province (Nain area) on a charge of moharebeh — enmity against God — for his alleged role in the January 2026 protests. He was the 15th person put to death for January-uprising activity. Iranian authorities accused him of opening fire on security forces and attacking government buildings. His Supreme Court-upheld sentence was carried out before his family was notified, a pattern Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO) and Amnesty International have documented repeatedly across the wartime execution register.

His case ran on the same track as a parallel wartime judicial pipeline: the day before, Mojtaba Kian was executed as the first person publicly put to death for espionage during the 2026 war, with arrest to execution taking under 50 days. The consecutive hangings reflect two distinct charge architectures — armed rebellion and wartime espionage — running simultaneously. moharebeh is a capital offence under Iranian law used to criminalise protest-related violence; rights monitors document that convictions in these cases frequently rest on confessions obtained in prolonged pre-trial detention.

Amnesty International placed Iran's 2026 execution count above 200 in mid-May, tracking the fastest pace in 44 years and running ahead of the 2025 global record of 2,159. Akbari Feyzabadi's death was documented by IHRNGO and i24 News. He is recorded on Amnesty's 2026 register as a private individual whose connection to the news is solely through the state's judicial process against him.
