Iran Detains Protester Erfan Soltani Amid Execution Fears - Cosa Nostra - Jan 16, 2026
Erfan Soltani, a 26-year-old shopkeeper from Fardis near Tehran, was arrested during recent anti-government protests and initially faced an imminent execution sentence for „Wagons war against God“ marking the first such case linked to the unrest.
Rights organization Hengaw reported that Soltani endured torture to extract a confession, with his family notified of a scheduled hanging just days after a trial lacking legal representation.
Iranian authorities have since denied any execution order exists, asserting instead charges of „collusion against national security“ that carry lengthy prison terms rather than death.
This reversal followed international outcry, including statements from U.S. President Donald Trump warning against the execution. Soltani remains detained in Karaj Central Prison, highlighting ongoing tensions in Iran’s suppression of dissent.
How might this impact global cyber activism against authoritarian regimes?

Oooooof, they should stop. The Iranian regime should collapse soon though, so hopefully won't be long.
Nations that prevent people from freedom of speech, protesting, and lawful assemblies should not be here in 2026. It's not politics, it's Earth. Fuck em, the human race doesn't need dictators who are brainwashed by extremist media and misinterpretations & manipulation tactics by religions fucknuts. Islam great, Iran shit.
