Suleiman Shabakhsh, 29.06.2025. Sentenced to death – Tehran

June 29, 2025 – Tehran
Sentenced to death for “rebellion and formation of groups opposed to the Iranian regime”

Branch 28 of Tehran’s Revolutionary Court has sentenced four Baluchi citizens to death: Eidou Shabakhsh, Abdul Ghani Shabakhsh, Abdul Rahim Qanbarzahi and Suleiman Shabakhsh.

The four men were convicted of “rebellion and formation of groups opposed to the Iranian regime”. The context of Israeli aggression is pushing the weakened regime towards repression. Since the ceasefire, at least 115 people have been arrested in Kermanshah province alone for “disturbing security”. Further arrests have been reported by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and police in Hamedan, Hormozgan, Fars (53 detainees), Gilan (36) and Zarand (11 arrested for anti-regime activities). The IRGC and its paramilitary Basij forces set up checkpoints at the entrances and exits of Kurdish towns, searching vehicles and arresting several people. A large deployment of plainclothes security forces, dispatched from other provinces, was observed in the streets of Kurdish towns. These forces arrested individuals they deemed suspicious without presenting a judicial warrant. The IRGC intelligence organization and the Ministry of Intelligence have also summoned and interrogated family members of Kurdish political activists living abroad, threatening and pressuring them to cease their activism abroad.

S., 24.02.2025. Molested, batonned, pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed – Copenhagen

February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhaguen
18 to 30 years old. Mollested, batonned, pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed

Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025

S. : “Police started hitting me with baton when I was sitting on the ground with many other people”

“Police violence I experienced myself: Police started hitting me with baton when I was sitting on the ground with many other people (maybe 100 sitting there). Those polices that started hitting didn’t say anything before they started.

We had sat there many hours already and before the violence towards me I had heard from comrades that police wants us to leave and will use violence if we don’t. They started to hit us and forced us to stand up. I was mostly hit to hands and thighs. My head was not hit.

I was not resisting to move after I had stood up but police was hitting me even though I was trying to get out from the place as they apparently wanted us to do. I also fell down once because of pushing by the police.

Police threw tear gas in front of us and still forced us to walk to that direction. They grabbed me from my clothes and pushed roughly forward. I walked through the tear gas and had to stop because of hardness of breathing.

Police was following us with dogs and batons so I kept walking away.

Police violence I witnessed but didn’t experience myself: Police was dragging people by the concrete. They sprayed pepper spray in peoples faces.”

18 to 30 years old. Molested, batonned, tear-gassed

Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025

F. : “I was beaten at least 10 times, in my back, arms and legs”

“We had a lockdown of the Mærsk headquarters. Police beat us with batons, used teargas and dogs to get us to leave the area.

I was never given a warning by the police that I had to leave, yet they used extreme measures to get us to leave, without attempting to peacefully remove us. All of us were peaceful.

I was just by the police barricade, and they regularly beat us with batons and pushed their knees in our backs while we were just sitting there. No attempt at moving us was made.

When they decided to get us to leave, they pushed us so much that we couldn’t move, and kept beating use en though we had nowhere to go. They then threw tear gas in the direction of the exit, essentially trapping us.

I was beaten at least 10 times, in my back, arms and legs, despite trying to yell that I was trying to get out. Many others had it way worse.”

Sonia Dahmani, 11.05.2024. Arrested – Tunis

May 11, 2024 – Headquarters of the Tunis Bar Association – Tunis
Lawyer. Arrested by masked men and detained

Lawyer and columnist Sonia Dahmani was arrested on May 11, live on television, by masked police officers who burst into the headquarters of the Tunis Bar Association, where she had taken refuge. Her arrest and convictions were carried out under Presidential Decree 54, the lawyer added.

According to the National Union of Tunisian Journalists, dozens of journalists, lawyers and opposition figures have been prosecuted or sentenced on the basis of this decree since it came into force in 2022 under President Saïed, officially to combat the dissemination of false information, but criticized for its broad interpretation.

In May, the lawyer was accused of having ironized on a television set about the possibility of sub-Saharan migrants wanting to settle permanently in Tunisia despite a serious economic crisis. “What extraordinary country are we talking about?” she asked another commentator.

Another member of her defense team, Me Pierre-Francois Feltesse, added that the lawyer was still to be tried for three other cases. Following a visit to Tunis in July, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, Agnès Callamard, denounced a “drastic setback” for human rights in Tunisia and a “judiciary that has been undermined”.

Sonia Dahmani, in detention since May 11, was sentenced on Thursday October 24 to two years’ imprisonment under Presidential Decree 54 on the “dissemination of false news”, her lawyer, Chawki Tabib, told Agence France-Presse (AFP). “The Correctional Chamber of the Court of First Instance sentenced Sonia Dahmani to two years’ imprisonment for media statements on racism in Tunisia,” he said.

This outspoken columnist is being prosecuted in five cases for critical media statements, added Mr Tabib. On several occasions, she has spoken publicly about the situation of migrants in the country and the problems of racism. In July, she was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment at first instance in the first of these cases, a sentence reduced to eight months on appeal in September, for remarks deemed critical of President Kaïs Saïed.

Sonia Dahmani received a new two-year prison sentence on Monday June 30, 2025. She was sentenced for denouncing negrophobia in Tunisia, as well as that of the Head of State during a speech in 2023. At the time, he criticized the arrival of “hordes of illegal sub-Saharan migrants” and a ‘plot’ to change “the demographic make-up of Tunisia”, remarks which triggered a violent anti-migrant campaign in the country.
