Hassan and Hossein Amiri, twin brothers and co-defendants, have been sentenced to death under newly enacted espionage legislation on 4 June 2026.

Axar.az informs, citing Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO), during the 40-day war, Hassan was stopped at a checkpoint and found in possession of a photograph of a bombed site.

He was subsequently tortured to extract a statement that Hossein's laptop contained further footage, leading to Hossein's arrest despite the fact that neither brother actually owns a laptop.

20-year-old twin brothers Hassan and Hossein Amiri have been sentenced to death by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court on charges of collaboration with Israel.

They were tried on 5 May and the sentence was issued by Judge Iman Afshari a few days later. The brothers are held in Ghezelhesar Prison, Karaj.
