The Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported that Homayoun Shabankareh, a 22-year-old held at Karaj Central Penitentiary, has been sentenced to death by Branch Two of the Karaj Revolutionary Court on charges of moharebeh and espionage. HRANA cited a source close to Shabankareh’s family as saying that the death sentence was delivered to him on Saturday, 25 Mehr. His case was heard by Branch Two of the Karaj Revolutionary Court, presided over by Mehdi Sabzevarnejad, known as “Sabzevari.” Mehdi Razavi has also been named as another judge connected with the case. According to information published, Shabankareh was arrested at his home on 24 Ordibehesht 1405 in connection with security developments arising from military clashes. Agents believed to be affiliated with the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps searched his home for about three hours, seized several personal belongings, including his laptop, and transferred him to Karaj Central Penitentiary. After his arrest, Shabankareh was held in solitary confinement in Ward 12 of the prison for 97 days. After the preliminary investigation phase ended, he was transferred to the general ward for only 12 days. From 8 Shahrivar to 8 Mehr, he was again held in solitary confinement and went on a hunger strike during that period. HRANA also reported that he had previously attempted suicide while in solitary confinement. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Destruction of the “Russian Caravanserai” in Sabzevar: The historically significant Tumanian House, known as the “Russian Barracks,” was demolished by a bulldozer in broad daylight on Wednesday, prompting widespread protests by cultural heritage activists. Images shared on social media show a bulldozer demolishing part of a historic building in Sabzevar known as the “Russian Barracks” on Wednesday, 18 Shahrivar. Although the “Russian Barracks,” or Tumanian House, in Sabzevar was not registered on the national heritage list, the Cultural Heritage authorities had designated it a historically significant building. The building’s architecture dates to the early Pahlavi era. During the Russian occupation of Iran, the Russian army was stationed there for a time, which is why it became known as the “Russian Barracks.” Mojtaba Kavian, director general of Cultural Heritage and head of the Sabzevar Historic District office, told Heritage Voice: “This site was demolished without coordination with or a permit from Cultural Heritage authorities. Filing a criminal complaint against those responsible for demolishing this historically significant site is certain.” @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Mojtaba Karabi (Barsam) was shot directly on the evening of 21 Dey 1404 in Tehran’s Salsabil neighborhood and fell into a coma. The 30-year-old, who was born in Sabzevar, suffered brain death after being struck by a bullet and died a week later, on 29 Dey 1404, at Tehran’s Imam Hossein Hospital. His body was transferred to Sabzevar for burial. IranWire has learned that because the words “eternally remembered” were inscribed on his gravestone, officials from the Martyrs Foundation pressured his family to change them to “martyr.” After the family refused, Mojtaba Karabi’s (Barsam’s) gravestone was smashed. His family also decided not to place a gravestone on the young man’s grave until “the day of freedom.” Mojtaba Karabi was a bodybuilding coach, a fitness athlete, and an official powerlifting judge. A source close to his family told IranWire: “For several years, Mojtaba trained both practically and academically alongside his uncle, Rouhollah Nasiri, a well-known athlete from Razavi Khorasan. Through hard work and perseverance, he was able to begin his professional career as a coach and official powerlifting judge, with a recognized certification.” He was a fan of the Persepolis football team. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
