The organizations reported that Branch 41 of Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the death sentence previously issued by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court.

Monfared was accused of membership in the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) and moharebeh, a charge commonly translated as “waging war against God.”

Monfared, his father, brother and sister were arrested in Karaj last winter. Although his family members were subsequently released on bail, Monfared remained in detention and faced serious charges.
