Iran Conflict 2026Background
Amirhossein Maleki was 20 when he went to the gallows at Isfahan Central Prison on 3 November 2026, according to Hengaw. Mizan, the news agency of Iran's judiciary, confirmed his execution that day.
Security forces detained him during the January 2026 protests in Isfahan's Malekshahr district, Hengaw says. A court then sentenced him to death for moharebeh, an Iranian legal term for waging war against God, among further counts. His case turned on the deaths of four Basij and special police personnel on 8 January 2026, which the judiciary blames on the accused.
Maleki was one of 12 defendants condemned to death in that case. Hengaw counts nine of them executed by early November 2026, Maleki among them; the other three had not been hanged at that count.
