Why this is incorrect

The post asserts that Iran’s judiciary chief, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, “was eliminated” (i.e., killed/assassinated).

However, reporting on Feb 28, 2026 quotes Fars News Agency (an Iranian outlet affiliated with state/security institutions) as denying that senior officials were killed and stating that Mohseni‑Ejei is “alive/in full health.”

Evidence

• Iran International reports Fars stated that several officials including “محسنی اژه‌ای” are «زنده و سلامت» (“alive and safe/healthy”).
• Epoch Times Persian likewise reports Fars denied the killings and said Mohseni‑Ejei is in «سلامت کامل» (“full health”).

These statements directly contradict the post’s claim that he “was eliminated.”

Why this is incorrect

The post claims Mohseni‑Ejei “gave the death sentence to thousands of protesters.” That scale is incompatible with credible, case-tracked reporting on protest-related death sentences.

Human Rights Watch’s World Report 2024 (Iran chapter) states that authorities issued 25 death sentences in connection with the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests and provides additional breakdowns (executions, overturned cases). Amnesty International similarly reported Iranian authorities were seeking the death penalty for at least 21 people in protest-related proceedings at that time.

Even allowing for uncertainty in documentation, these independent tallies are orders of magnitude below “thousands,” directly contradicting the post’s numeric claim.

Evidence (documented counts)

• HRW: 25 death sentences connected to the protests.
• Amnesty: authorities seeking the death penalty for at least 21 people in protest-related sham trials.

Therefore, the claim that he gave death sentences to thousands of protesters is not supported by, and is contradicted by, major human-rights organizations’ documented counts.
