HRANA – Branch 1 of the Isfahan Revolutionary Court has sentenced political activist Akbar Danesh Sararoudi to three years in prison and additional penalties. The prison sentence has been suspended for four years.

According to HRANA, the verdict was issued on April 29, 2025, by Judge Mohammad Reza Tavakkoli and officially delivered to Mr. Danesh Sararoudi today, Wednesday, May 7. He was sentenced to one year in prison for “propaganda against the regime” for calling for a protest on February 13, and two years in prison for “insulting the Supreme Leader.” His additional penalties include a ban on media activity, a travel ban, and the confiscation of his mobile phone.

If the current verdict becomes final, a previously suspended three-year sentence from a separate case involving similar charges may also be enforced.

Akbar Danesh Sararoudi was released from Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan on February 19, 2025, after posting bail. He had been arrested earlier that month in connection with a call to protest on February 13, marking opposition to the continued house arrest of three prominent political figures.

Sararoudi, a political and media activist based in Isfahan, has previously faced arrest and legal action over his activism.
