Bita Hemmati

President Donald Trump claimed Iran agreed to halt the execution of eight women linked to anti-regime protests after his public appeal, with four to be released immediately and four serving short sentences. Iran's judiciary denied the women faced execution, stating some were already released while others faced imprisonment. The women, including Bita Hemmati, were part of a government crackdown on dissent.

Iran is set to execute Bita Hemmati, the first female protester tied to the 2026 anti-regime uprising in Tehran, alongside three others, including her husband, as part of a government crackdown. Human rights groups allege coerced confessions and lack of evidence, claiming the executions aim to suppress dissent amid widespread protests linked to economic crises.

Bita Hemmati, believed to be the first woman, and three others in Iran have been sentenced to death for their involvement in protests. The verdict highlights ongoing tensions related to political dissent in the country.

Bita Hemmati, a woman, is among four Iranians sentenced to death for their involvement in protests. She is believed to be the first woman to receive such a sentence related to the protests.
