A 33-year-old blogger was detained by the Iranian regime in March and has now been sentenced to death by an Iranian Court on security-related charges, including insulting the Supreme Leader and collaborating with hostile governments.
The court’s ruling also includes prison time, property confiscation, and a ban on government services following a period of solitary confinement and interrogation.
This case is part of a broader trend identified by human rights groups, which report an increase in death sentences and executions targeting political dissidents and protesters in Iran throughout 2026.

Blogger Sentenced To Death In Iran On Security-Related Charges
By Iran International, 12 September 2026
Soda Ebrahimi Shamsabadi, a 33-year-old blogger from Bandar Abbas who has been detained since March, has been sentenced to death, according to information obtained by Iran International.
Branch 3 of the Bandar Abbas Revolutionary Court convicted her on charges including insulting Iran’s supreme leader, media and propaganda activity against national security, intelligence and security activity on behalf of hostile governments, and taking and sending photographs to Persian-language media abroad, according to the information.
The court also sentenced her to between two and five years in prison, barred her from some government services and ordered the confiscation of property. Her lawyer was notified of the death sentence on 23 August.
Ebrahimi Shamsabadi was held in solitary confinement for 20 days and faced severe pressure during interrogation, according to information obtained by Iran International. Her family was not told where she was being held or about her condition during that period.
The sentence was issued by Judge Khajeh-Hassani, who was previously praised by judiciary officials as an exemplary judge for, among other things, issuing a high number of rulings and what they described as diligence in his work.
More Political And Protest-Related Death Sentences
The case comes amid a series of death sentences against protesters and political detainees in Iran.
Earlier this month, US-based rights outlet HRANA reported that Ali Zarei Doozdarresi, a protester who lost sight in one eye after being shot during the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom protests, had been sentenced to death after returning to Iran from Germany.
Iran International also reported in August that Leila Abolhassani, a 43-year-old mother of two detained during the January protests in Shahin Shahr, had been sentenced to death on charges of “waging war against God.” Her case was sent to the Supreme Court following an appeal.
Rights Groups Warn of Rising Executions
Rights groups have accused Iranian authorities of increasingly using capital punishment against protesters and political dissidents.
Norway-based Iran Human Rights said last month that 29 people arrested in connection with the January 2026 protests had been executed since 19 March, in addition to two protesters from the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom movement.
The US-based Abdorrahman Boroumand Centre said in August that it had documented 950 executions in Iran since the start of 2026, including at least 20 women and 30 protesters. The UN human rights chief has also accused Iran of using executions to “instil fear among the population and suppress dissent.”

Islam the religion of peace, look where it got this lady. I will stick to my relationship with creator God and leave all religion alone.
Hi Rhoda,
This is a very bad article for the residents of Iran.
This is how they conduct business, the Saudis just chop off heads in the streets, to save money on courts.
All the people in that part of the world seem to be the same gang.
Although I cans see the start of similar things happening to protesters in the UK.
Flag wavers get prison, and proper criminals and murderers get let out of prison.
The writing is on the wall !
Of course the source for this article is Iran International, one of the progandists for the Shah and his family who would very much like to get their palaces back and need the west to do some killing on their behalf so that they can achieve this. And for the repayment they will give them back the old oil contracts which gave appormimately 1% of the revenues to the people of Iran.
Really?
Validate the source of the story.
Who benefits ?
Does this represent the main ruling group or is it just extreme religious zealots?
Any story that attacks Israel’s “enemies” is always acceptable and will not be questioned or validated before publication. The “source” is the literally bought-and-paid-for Iran International, the main publication that the Pahlavi family use to encourage a war of aggression against their own people in the name of “freedom” but really it’s just so they can pick up their old fortunes once the country has been destroyed. It’s a shame that this kind of stuff appears alongside other, much more valuable journalism but this website is very much Christian Zionist led and that is often not remotely Christian and certainly Israel first.
Amen, and thank you!
You an idiot
Oh forgot an antisemitic idiot!
Obviously you don’t remember Iran back in the 70’s it was one of the most western like countries in the middle east along with Syria, Turkey, Lebanon and Afghanistan. Islam is not a religion, don’t fool yourself it’s a cult that rob’s people of freedom, identity and happiness and if you don’t follow the rules your life.
100% TRUE, Islam is a man-made cult practices.
So does Christianity also a man-made cult practices as well. Jesus is an Arab because the bible (series of diary compiled into a book) was written in Aramaic language.
Our history was altered, changed & mixed of truth with fictional to make Dar-win’s ‘THEORY’ of evolution & ‘THEORY’ of solar system was real even though can’t be proven with a single fact.
These “THEORY” already planted into young kids’ mind before they can think independently via government cult-textbooks.
Iran people was living in modern era just like western civilization of Europe & USA (70’s movies).
Japan people wearing suits & tuxedo before World War just like western civilization.
Human already traveled far & wide using helium gas filled aircraft without modern aeroplane. Ancient people are more advance than what history book told us.
Yeshua (Jesus) is a Jew. While God Yeshua walked this planet he lived in Israel. He was born in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth, and died outside Jerusalem.
You mean like Israel is robbing the people of Palestine?
From the river to the sea it’s God’s land it’s been decreed.
That is only true with real Israelites! Not these wannabes.
Hi Stuart-James, who do you believe are the “real Israelites” and what source or evidence are you using to suuport/prove what you claim?
Just read a genuine Bible!
This much is true,more so “the eearth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof”.
Hi Stuart-James, “Palestine” does not exist, there is no such thing as “people of Palestine.”
“Palestine”is not a geographical location, it is a political ideology made popular in certain sections of society through propaganda and PsyOps. Once you work out who’s political ideology it is and what their aims are, I should think you will stop promoting the “Palestinian cause” and instead turn to exposing and resisting it.
I agree 100% “there is no such thing as people of Palestine” . Speak the truth.
Israel IS “a geographical location” .
The whole thing is political, as you rightly aver.
People have all sorts of theories about who these “people” are, one thing is for sure , they are not Ishmaelites, for the Arabs have Never been subdued.
Hi Islander, I hear you and agree.
Another important thing to note is that there are certain ideologies that follow bloodlines religiously – for example, Nazis and Rex Deus. All anti-Jewish ideologies are also obsessed with bloodlines. It should come as no surprise then that both the Nazis and Rex Deus are anti-Jewish.
The Bible warns against following endless genealogies and emphasizes that spiritual lineage supersedes physical descent. This is a truth that all anti-Jewish ideologies, such as that which Stuart-James is following, choose to ignore or are trying to deny. Indeed they go further, and continually try to deceive others that bloodlines are all that matters.
“But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.” Titus 3:9-11 (NIV)
Neither does Israel!… it’s only a legal fiction created by another legal fiction, the United Nations. They are only a millionaires club.
Have you ever read the Bible? Seriously.
These Zionist wannabe Israelites are not of the blood line of Israel.
That is why they have created a legal fiction, so that they can pretend to the world. And land grab and steal from others under their bullshit fraudulent religion.
Just another religion!
They freely acknowledge they are of the line of Esau… so there it is!
A tree is known by its fruit, how much evidence do you need?
Hi Islander, If we take Stuart-James’ comments at face value, it seems he is not familiar with the Christian Bible. Rather, it would seem he has another source that is informing him on spiritual matters. Sadly, the last statement noted in the Bible verses I quoted above, “You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned” Titus 3:11, might apply.
It’s all in a genuine Bible!
Hi Stuart-James, what is the name of the book that you are calling “a genuine Bible”? Is it available online? If so, can you post a link to it?
Any Bible published or influenced by Schofield is considered corrupt.
I certainty agree with that comment! Rather, I would say “IS corrupt”.
The Scofield Reference Bible (no ‘h’) with its marginal notes was responsible for Darby’s false any moment pre-tribulation rapture doctrine spreading like wildfire in the USA and beyond.
The problem with religion is religion, for it only serves the leaders of the religion. That also means the so-called religion of Judaism.
And looked what happened to the Shah when he refused bow to western bankers! Now the two faced git comes grovelling. And the bankers are using him to stir up trouble.
This about western bankers against the BRICS banks, that is the truth and why western bankers are happy to finance with their fraudulent fiat currency that the taxpayers pay for!

Guess the supreme leader has never heard of the saying sticks and stones. I look at Islam as the religion of Satan.
Exactly right!
If you truly want to destroy Satan, then you must stop engaging in religion as means and understand it for what it actually is.
Their rules
