Artist Moein Robati Sentenced to One Year in Prison

Moein Robati, a Behshahr-based artist, has been sentenced to one year in prison by the Revolutionary Court in the city.

According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists in Iran, the verdict was issued by Ali Gheisari Atrabi, head of Branch 103 of the Second Criminal Court and a Revolutionary Court judge in Behshahr. Robati was convicted on charges of “propaganda against the regime.”

The trial was held on Thursday, December 12, 2024, at the Revolutionary Court, operating within Behshahr’s Second Criminal Court.

Robati was originally arrested at his home by security forces in September 2024. He was released shortly afterward on bail.

In an earlier case from 2021, Robati received a one-year prison sentence for producing and sharing a widely viewed video on social media. However, this sentence remains suspended due to his medical condition, pending a review by a medical commission.

Moein Hosseinpour Robati, a lyricist and filmmaker, has faced previous detentions and judicial convictions related to his artistic activities and expression.
