The Islamic regime in Iran hanged the 24-year-old anti-regime protester Alireza Sepahi yesterday.
Alireza was arrested over the January 2026 anti-government protests in Isfahan was sentenced to death for charges including “waging war against God” (moharebeh) and “corruption on Earth.”
He was a young man who was planning a life with the woman he loved.
While both were imprisoned, Alireza married his fiancée, 22-year-old Mahshad Kashani, who is herself serving a five-year prison sentence.
They became husband and wife just one day before Alireza was executed.
They were denied even one final meeting together as a married couple.
Alireza was murdered at Isfahan’s Dastgerd Prison alongside another detained protester, Alireza Raeesi.
Mahshad must now mourn her husband from behind prison walls, one day after becoming his wife.
Alireza was 24 years old. He had a family, someone he loved, and an entire life that could have been ahead of him.
Rest in peace, Alireza. 🦁🕊️
