Alireza Akbari Dead: How Did Alireza Akbari Die?

Alireza Akbari, a dual British-Iranian national, died on 14 January 2023. According to news outlet Mizan’s tweets, Alireza Akbari was hanged for crimes including “corruption on Earth.” The date of the execution was not specified.

The outlet sent out two tweets Saturday, January 14 2023, charging Akbari with “extensive cooperation with British intelligence officers” in exchange for “huge sums of money.”

“On this basis and after filing an indictment against the accused, the file was referred to court and hearings were held in the presence of the accused’s lawyer and based on the valid documents in this person’s file, he was sentenced to death for spying for the UK,” Mizan said.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak denounced the move. “I am appalled by the execution of British-Iranian citizen Alireza Akbari in Iran,” Sunak wrote on Twitter.

“This was a callous and cowardly act, carried out by a barbaric regime with no respect for the human rights of their people. My thoughts are with Alireza’s friends and family.”
