Descriptions

Mohammad Movahedi-Azad is Prosecutor General and has held a series of important offices in Iran’s judicial system, especially in Tehran. During his professional career he has issued and upheld unfair sentences, in particular against protesters and minorities, sought to suppress dissent and freedom of expression, and overseen torture. During the nationwide protests in Iran that began in December 2025, in his capacity as Prosecutor General he threatened protesters with the death penalty for “enmity against God” and called for the seizure of their assets. Mohammad Movahedi-Azad is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran.
