An Iranian facing the death penalty for insulting Islam was allegedly tricked into signing his own death warrant.
Sina Dehghan was 19 when he was arrested by the Iranian revolutionary guard for insulting the national religion via an instant messaging app.
According to human rights activists, he was fooled into signing a confession in the belief that prosecutors would be released without punishment.
But, having signed the confession document, Iranian authorities allegedly went back on their promise – and Dehghan is now stuck on death row with little hope.
According to a press release by the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI), his death penalty – punishment for “insulting the prophet” was confirmed in January.
He was also reportedly found guilty of the lesser charge of insulting the supreme leader – which carries a 16-month prison sentence.
