Majid Eskandari

Majid Eskandari, a young man from Zibashahr, Qazvin, is scheduled to appear in Branch 3 of the Revolutionary Court in Qazvin on 18 October 2026 to face charges of "conspiracy and collusion." He is currently imprisoned in Mashhad on a new charge of "moharebeh."

Eskandari had previously been released on bail in the Qazvin case, but after being re-arrested by the Intelligence Department of Mashhad, he is now held in Ward 5 of Mashhad Prison, which houses inmates with mental health issues, under poor conditions.

His physical and mental health has been reported as deteriorating due to the conditions in the ward and lack of access to adequate medical facilities.

Given that his main case is open in Branch 3 of the Revolutionary Court in Qazvin, which is considered the competent authority, the new charge should also be referred to the same court. However, the investigator in Branch 901 of the Koohe Sanghi Prosecutor's Office in Mashhad has refused to transfer the case, leading to legal complications and uncertainty in the proceedings.

The detention of a suspect in a ward for mental health patients without a final ruling and prior to a complete judicial review has been described as a violation of fair trial principles and humane treatment of detainees.
