A court in Iran has sentenced political prisoner and social media activist Amirhossein Mousavi to death on charges of "corruption on earth through online activities," his lawyer, Reza Shafakhah, said Wednesday on X.
Mousavi's case was heard in August by Branch 15 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati.
Mousavi has been detained since December 2024. Iranian state television broadcast what was described as his forced confession in October 2025, following months of solitary confinement.
Fourteen political prisoners had previously issued a statement warning that Mousavi was at risk of receiving a death sentence.
The group's latest report also documented three cases in which men were executed for deaths it said were caused or provoked by police violence, with evidence of misconduct allegedly ignored or concealed by authorities.
The findings come amid continued executions linked to Iran's December-January nationwide protests, including the hanging of two more men on Tuesday.

According to IHRNGO, 39 people were executed for murder in October, 31 for drug-related offenses, six on national security charges and one for rape.
