HRANA– The Isfahan Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of political activist Hossein Yazdi. He had previously been sentenced to one year in prison, along with two-year bans on international travel, online activity, and access to social rights.

According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists in Iran, Yazdi was convicted of “propaganda against the regime.” The initial verdict had been issued by the Isfahan Revolutionary Court.

Yazdi was released from Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan on July 12, 2023, after posting bail. His arrest took place earlier that month following a summons to the Isfahan Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office.

Hossein Mohammadi Yazdi is a political activist and former editor-in-chief of the Mobin 24 website and the Iran Times news channel. He has previously faced arrest and legal action for his activism.
