In a December 2025 audio message, he declared his unwavering commitment to the overthrow of the religious dictatorship and his support for the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"343\" data-end=\"460\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"1421\">In his emotional message, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/iranian-political-prisoner-shahin-zoghi-tabar-vows-resistance-from-evin-prison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoghi-Tabar<\/a> stated how joining the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" rel=\"\">PMOI<\/a> gave him purpose and strength through resistance. He swore to stand by the PMOI \u201cproudly until the last drop of blood\u201d and until the \u201coverthrow of the bloodthirsty mullahs\u2019 regime\u201d and the transfer of sovereignty to the people of Iran. He concluded with the chant \u201cHazer, Hazer, Hazer\u201d (Ready, Ready, Ready), signaling his readiness for struggle despite the \u201cmost fearful type of suffocation and repression.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> News Alert \u2013 Simay Azadi\u2019s Exclusive<br>\nA voice message from Shahin Zoghitabar, a supporter of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Mojahedineng<\/a> and political prisoner in Evin Prison.

Following a sham trial on August 17, 2025, led by Judge Iman Afshari at Branch 26 of Tehran Revolutionary Court, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The charges\u2014\u201cassembly and collusion\u201d and \u201cmembership in the PMOI\u201d\u2014stemmed from peaceful actions such as meeting PMOI families, writing slogans, and distributing flyers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"2272\">Since his violent arrest on August 2, 2025, Zoghi-Tabar\u2019s health has deteriorated sharply. Initially held in Fashafuyeh Prison, harsh conditions caused severe kidney problems and leg swelling, for which he is still denied adequate medical care in Evin. This is not his first imprisonment; he previously served four years starting in 2013 for refusing to stay silent against the regime.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2274\" data-end=\"2307\">Rising Threat of Executions<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2308\" data-end=\"2628\">Zoghi-Tabar\u2019s message gains significance amid the regime\u2019s acceleration of executions. Authorities are targeting PMOI supporters to instill fear. Boxing champion and political prisoner <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/human-rights\/2025\/12\/irans-regime-upholds-death-sentence-for-boxing-champion-mohammad-javad-vafaei-sani-case-sent-for-execution\/81803\/\" rel=\"\">Mohammad Javad Vafaei Sani<\/a> is in solitary confinement in Mashhad\u2019s Vakilabad Prison, with his death sentence sent for implementation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2630\" data-end=\"2874\">Earlier in December 2025, political prisoner Karim Khojasteh was notified of his death sentence, alongside the reconfirmation of death sentences for six others.
