Soltani, initially reported as the first protester to receive a death sentence amid the unrest, was arrested on January 10th and held in Karaj. The judiciary stated Soltani faces charges of "colluding against the country’s internal security and propaganda activities against the regime." According to Reuters, these charges do not carry the death penalty if confirmed by a court. The announcement follows reports of his family being told his execution was postponed.
