The death sentence of Mojahed Korkor was carried out in Sheyban Prison in Ahvaz.
According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, state media reported on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, that the execution of Mojahed Korkor—one of the detainees from the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising—had been carried out.
According to these reports, Mr. Korkor had been sentenced to three counts of the death penalty by Ahvaz Revolutionary Court, and Iran Supreme Court upheld the verdicts. The charges included: “moharebeh” (waging war against God) through brandishing a weapon with the intent to kill and intimidate the public, “corruption on Earth” by committing a crime using firearms, and forming and joining an armed insurgent group.
Previously, the judiciary had claimed that Abbas Korkor was involved in the murder of Kian Pirfalak, the child killed during the nationwide protests on November 16, 2022, in Izeh. This accusation was explicitly denied by the Pirfalak family. Kian’s mother had previously stated: “On our way home, the security forces fired at our car.”
The execution of Abbas Korkor took place despite widespread ambiguities and contradictions in his case and the judicial process. Human rights activists have pointed to the lack of transparency in the trial, absence of an independent lawyer, and reports of coercion and pressure during interrogation and trial.
Mojahed Korkor was wounded and arrested on December 20, 2022, during an armed raid by IRGC forces on the village of Pursurakh in Izeh County. During the same raid, two other young protesters—Mahmoud Ahmadi and Hossein Saeedi—were killed by IRGC gunfire.
