A court in Iran has sentenced 21-year-old protester Omran Amani to death on a charge of "moharebeh," or "waging war against God," according to information obtained by Iran International.
Amani was sentenced on October 24 by Branch 26 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari.
Amani was arrested on February 11, following Iran's nationwide December-January protests, when Basij and intelligence officers raided his shared home in Tehran and detained him alongside two friends, Alireza Dolati and Mohammad Khalizadeh, a source familiar with the case told Iran International.
The three men worked as motorcycle couriers for SnappBox, an Iranian delivery service, the source said.
According to the source, security personnel severely beat the men during their arrest, and Amani was subsequently held in solitary confinement for two months.
