Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Iranian protester, Mohammad Ghobadlou, suffers from bipolar disorder as he awaits execution in Iran.
The court confirmed the death penalty against Mohammad Ghobadlou, who drove into police forces, killing one and injuring some others.
Ghobadlou was charge with “corruption on earth”, a conviction that carries death penalty under Islamic sharia.
“I drove towards security forces deliberately in a bid to run them over,” he said in the court.
In response to the death on September 16 of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died suddenly in hospital three days after fainting in a Tehran police station, protests erupted in a number of Iranian towns. Her medical condition was given as the cause of death, refuting claims that she had been beaten by police.
However, the opportunists use the tragic death as an excuse to make violent attacks against police forces and commit acts of vandalism. So far, a number of armed forces and civilians have lost their lives because of such violent acts.
The foreign based foreign television networks, including the Saudi-funded Iran International, have also been fanning the flames of unrest in Iran.
The U.S. and its Western allies have received the most vitriol from the Islamic Republic for inciting the disturbances through their spies and media networks.
The Supreme Court later issued an amendment, saying Ghobadlou’s appeal has been rejected and that his death sentence has been upheld, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.
The 22-year-old’s life is in “serious danger,” the activist group 1500tasvir tweeted after the news that his death sentence had been upheld.
Iran has already executed two protesters. Mohsen Shekari and Majidreza Rahnavard, both 23, were hanged earlier this month.
“At least 39 protesters are currently at risk of execution or death penalty sentences,” Oslo-based rights group Iran Human Rights (IHR) said last week.
Protests – described by the regime as “riots” – have swept across Iran since September 16 when 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini died after her arrest by the morality police in Tehran.
Since Amini’s death, demonstrators have been calling for the downfall of the regime in a movement that has become one of the boldest challenges to the Islamic Republic since its establishment in 1979.
At least 469 people, including 63 children and 32 women, have been killed by security forces in the protests, according to IHR.
