Maziar Tataei, the lawyer representing Bakhshan Azizi, announced today via a post on his account on platform "X" that the Iranian judiciary had denied, for the second time, the request for a retrial.

He explained that the court rejected the retrial request without reviewing Bakhshan Azizi’s case file, describing the defense presented by the lawyers as "unconvincing."

It is noteworthy that Judge Ali Rezaei had previously upheld the death sentence against Bakhshan Azizi on January 8, 2025, a ruling that sparked significant controversy  about her case.
