June 4, 2026: June 4, 2026 - IRAN. Hassan and Hossein Amiri Sentenced to Death for Photo of Bombed Site
According to information obtained by Iran Human Rights, 20-year-old twin brothers Hassan and Hossein Amiri have been sentenced to death by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court on charges of collaboration with Israel. They were tried on 5 May and the sentence was issued by Judge Iman Afshari a few days later. The brothers are held in Ghezel-Hesar Prison, Karaj.
Hassan was arrested at a checkpoint on 19 March after a photo of a bombed site was found on his phone. An informed source told IHR: “Hassan was tortured to extract false confessions and to say that his twin brother Hossein had more footage on his laptop despite the fact that neither brother actually owns a laptop.”
Consequently, Hossein who was working as a car mechanic in Karaj, was arrested on 23 March. Six days later, both brothers were taken for interrogations in Ghezel-Hesar Prison.
A source told IHR: “Hassan and Hossein were brought up in a care home until the age of 18. They’ve had very difficult lives and have no family to follow up on their case.”
