Iranian protester Erfan Soltani, aged 26, who had reportedly been sentenced to death for involvement in last month’s anti-government demonstrations, was released on bail on Saturday, according to his lawyer and human rights groups. Soltani was arrested on January 8 in Fardis, west of Tehran, during widespread protests that triggered a heavy government crackdown. The Norway-based Kurdish rights group Hengaw said authorities initially told his family that his execution could occur within days, but Iran’s judiciary later clarified that he faced only security-related charges and no death sentence had been issued.
His lawyer, Amir Musakhani, confirmed that Soltani was freed on bail of 2 billion tomans, approximately 12,600 dollars, and that his personal belongings, including his phone, remained under control. The case drew international attention after reports of his death sentence circulated globally. U.S. President Donald Trump warned of severe consequences if the execution were carried out, while Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei cautioned that any attack could spark regional conflict.
Iran’s foreign minister dismissed foreign media reports as fabricated, stating there were no plans for Soltani’s execution. Human rights groups reported thousands killed during the unrest, with investigations ongoing.
