Iran Executes January 2026 Protest Detainee Majid Adineh

Iran executed Majid Adineh at dawn in Karaj, more than seven months after his arrest during the January 2026 nationwide protests in the city's Mohammadshahr area. The Karaj Revolutionary Court had convicted him of 'operational actions' on behalf of Israel and the United States and ordered confiscation of his property; the Supreme Court upheld the sentence on appeal. Human rights monitors say the case relied on forced confessions and secret proceedings, with no public information released on his access to legal counsel. Adineh is the 29th individual executed in connection with the January 2026 protests since March 2026.
