Today, August 26, 2024, Mehdi Shakibafar, an attorney, was sent to Saveh Prison to serve his sentence.

Shakibafar announced that he was leaving his mother’s home in Karaj on his birthday to report to the Enforcement of Judgments Office in Saveh to begin serving his prison term.

Previously, Shakibafar was sentenced by Branch 9 of the Court of Appeals in Markazi Province to 15 months and one day in prison for “insulting the Supreme Leader,” seven months and 16 days for “propaganda against the regime,” and one year for “spreading falsehoods,” 11 months of which was suspended for five years. Additionally, he was sentenced to 21 months of disqualification from practicing law as supplementary punishment.

Initially, Shakibafar was acquitted of the charges in the preliminary court. However, following an appeal by the prosecutor, who argued that “his acquittal would embolden him further,” the case was re-examined.
