for a Swedish-Iranian dissident for "terrorism" over two years since his disappearance at an airport in Turkey, the judiciary’s Mizan Online website reported.
Habib Chaab has been held in Iran since October 2020 after he vanished during a visit to Turkey and was put on trial in Tehran — which does not recognize dual nationality.
Chaab, who was found guilty on charges of "corruption on earth" and the formation of a rebel group, was sentenced to death on December 6.
On Sunday, it was confirmed that Iran’s Supreme Court

had upheld the ruling.

Iran has accused Harakat al-Nidal of "cooperation with other terrorist groups" including in a 2018 attack on a military parade in Ahvaz in the southwestern Khuzestan region that authorities said killed 25 and maimed almost 250.
Chaab is the latest person to be sentenced to death after being found guilty for being members of Harakat al-Nidal, which Tehran calls a "terrorist group."
Last week, a court in Ahvaz sentenced to death six men over attacks who had "carried out the orders of their European leaders."
They were found guilty of "armed operations" between 2017 and 2019 that killed four people, including a soldier and two members of Iran’s Basij paramilitary force, the report said.
