Judge Iman Afshari has played a significant role in issuing sentences, having ruled on at least 33 cases, while Judge Abolghasem Salavati has issued verdicts for at least 17 of these prisoners. These two judges were also responsible for the death sentences of Varisheh Moradi and Pakhshan Azizi.

Political Prisoners Fatemeh and Mohammad-Hossein Sepehri Face New Charges

Posted on January 28, 2025 by . .

Ali Sepehri, Fatemeh Sepehri, Mashhad, Mohammad Hossein Sepehri, Vakilabad prison

HRANA News Agency – Fatemeh Sepehri and Mohammad-Hossein Sepehri, political prisoners held in Vakilabad Prison, Mashhad, were charged yesterday, January 27, in connection with a new case opened against them.

Ali Sepehri, their brother, announced that the charges were brought by Branch 905 of the Mashhad Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office. The siblings are accused of “insulting the Supreme Leader of Iran” and “propaganda against the regime.” The charges reportedly stem from a letter recently published by the two prisoners.

Background on Arrests and Sentences
Fatemeh Sepehri was arrested in September 2022, and Mohammad-Hossein Sepehri in September 2023, both by security forces.

Fatemeh Sepehri has faced multiple convictions. She was sentenced to:

10 years imprisonment for “collaboration with hostile governments,”
5 years for “assembly and collusion,”
2 years for “insulting the Supreme Leader,” and
1 year for “propaganda against the regime.”

These sentences were upheld by the appeals court, with the 10-year sentence enforceable under Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code. In February 2023, the Mashhad Criminal Court also sentenced her to 1 year in prison and a fine of 20 million tomans for “spreading falsehoods and disturbing public opinion.”

Additionally, in June 2023, Fatemeh Sepehri, alongside her brothers Mohammad Hossein and Hossein Sepehri, was sentenced to 18 years and 6 months in prison in a joint case. Mohammad Hossein Sepehri received an 8-year sentence in this case.

Fatemeh Sepehri is also known as one of the signatories of an open letter calling for the resignation of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. For this, she was initially sentenced to 5 years imprisonment by Branch 4 of the Mashhad Revolutionary Court, later reduced to 3 years and 6 months on appeal. In early 2020, she was conditionally released for 5 years.

Additional Developments
In late November 2023, the Mashhad Education Department issued an order dismissing Mohammad-Hossein Sepehri from his teaching position, which was officially conveyed to him in Vakilabad Prison. In September 2024, Branch 25 of the Administrative Justice Court upheld his dismissal.

Both siblings have a history of arrests and convictions due to their political activities.

20 Days of Uncertainty: Afshin Hossein Panahi Detained Without Contact or Information

Afshin Hossein Panahi, HRANA, Loghman Moradi, Ramin Hossein Panahi, Zaniar Moradi

HRANA News Agency – Afshin Hossein Panahi, the brother of executed political prisoner Ramin Hossein Panahi, remains in detention 20 days after his arrest, with no information available about his whereabouts. The lack of updates on his condition has heightened concerns among his family and close relatives.

A source close to the family confirmed the news to HRANA, saying: “It has been 20 days since Mr. Hossein Panahi was arrested, and the family’s efforts to gather information about his fate from judicial and security authorities have been fruitless. Since his arrest, Afshin has not even made a brief phone call to his family, which has deepened their concerns.”

Afshin Hossein Panahi was arrested by security forces at his workplace on January 8, 2025.

As of the time of this report, no information has been made available regarding the reasons for his arrest or the charges against him.

Afshin Hossein Panahi has previously faced judicial action and convictions related to his activities.

On September 8, 2018, Ramin Hossein Panahi was executed alongside two other political prisoners, Zaniar Moradi and Loghman Moradi, under highly controversial circumstances. The executions were carried out without prior notification to their legal counsel, depriving the prisoners of the presence of their representatives at the time of execution. Furthermore, in violation of the law, the authorities refused to return the bodies to their families, instead burying them in undisclosed locations. Families were also subjected to threats aimed at silencing protests and preventing the spread of information about the executions. These actions drew widespread condemnation from human rights organizations and legal advocates alike.

Shahriar Bayat, 64-Year-Old Death-Row Political Prisoner, Denied Medical Care Amid Supreme Court Case Review

HRANA News Agency – Shahriar Bayat, a 64-year-old political prisoner on death row and held in Evin Prison, is suffering from numerous health problems, including prostate disease, gout, gastrointestinal issues, and colitis. Despite the severity of his condition, he has been denied access to specialized medical care and external treatment facilities. Meanwhile, his case remains under review by the Supreme Court.

According to information obtained by HRANA, Mr. Bayat’s health has significantly deteriorated. In addition to his existing ailments, he is experiencing gum sores caused by incomplete dental treatments. Despite his repeated requests, he has only been sent to the prison’s infirmary a handful of times, where officials have provided nothing more than non-specialized medications. Prison authorities continue to block his access to specialist consultations or transfers to outside medical centers. Moreover, medication provided by his family last week has yet to be delivered to him.

Elahe Bayat, Mr. Bayat’s daughter, confirmed this information to HRANA. She revealed that her father had been beaten on the head during interrogations, resulting in chronic headaches. She also expressed concern about his drastic weight loss, declining mental health, and the toll his medical conditions have taken on his well-being. Elahe further noted that while an appeal against her father’s death sentence has been submitted to the Supreme Court, no progress has been made. Authorities have claimed that cases are processed based on their registration numbers, leaving his case in limbo.

Background on Shahriar Bayat’s Arrest and Sentencing
Shahriar Bayat was arrested on September 25, 2022, during nationwide protests. Security forces detained him at his home in Shahriar and transferred him to the Greater Tehran Prison before moving him to Evin Prison.

On March 1, 2023, Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court of Shahriar sentenced Mr. Bayat in his first case. He received:

1 year imprisonment for “propaganda against the regime,”
2 years imprisonment for “insulting the founder of the Islamic Republic and the Supreme Leader,”
5 years imprisonment for “assembly and collusion to commit crimes against national security,”
10 years imprisonment for “forming and managing illegal (virtual) groups to disrupt national security.”
This totaled 18 years of imprisonment, of which 10 years were enforceable. Following a request for sentence reduction, his prison term was reduced to 8 years and 6 months.

In late February 2023, in a separate case, the 13th Branch of the Criminal Court of Tehran Province, presided over by Saeed Sherafati and Ali Taghian, sentenced Mr. Bayat to death for blasphemy against the Prophet of Islam, insulting other Islamic figures, and desecrating Islamic sanctities through posts on social media. This verdict contradicted the earlier decision by a minority panel, which commuted Bayat’s sentence to six months in prison after he expressed remorse.

It is noteworthy that the Shahriar Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office had previously issued a non-prosecution order for Mr. Bayat on the same charge. However, following an appeal by the Shahriar Prosecutor’s Office, the case was reviewed by the Shahriar Revolutionary Court. Since the Revolutionary Court lacked jurisdiction over blasphemy charges, the case was referred to the Criminal Court of Tehran Province.

The issued rulings and the legal proceedings so far highlight significant ambiguities in Mr. Bayat’s case.

Shahriar Bayat is a retired employee, married, and a resident of Shahriar, Tehran province.

Lawyer of Pakhshan Azizi: Execution Temporarily Halted

HRANA News Agency – Maziar Tataei, a defense attorney, announced that the Supreme Court has approved the temporary suspension of the death sentence for Pakhshan Azizi, a political prisoner sentenced to execution.

In a statement, lawyer Maziar Tataei noted that during his follow-up at the Supreme Court for Azizi’s request for a retrial, the court branch handling the case agreed to suspend the execution in accordance with Note 478 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Previously, Amir Raisian, another lawyer for Pakhshan Azizi, reported that the Supreme Court had upheld Azizi’s death sentence, with Branch 39 dismissing the case’s numerous procedural flaws and confirming the sentence.

On July 24, Azizi was sentenced to death and four years in prison by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari, on charges of “armed rebellion (baghi)” through alleged membership in dissident groups.

On August 4, 2023, Azizi, along with her 67-year-old father Aziz Azizi (a lymphoma patient), her sister Parshang (49), and her sister’s husband Hossein Abbasi (49), was arrested in Tehran. The arrests were carried out by approximately 20 armed agents who stopped their moving vehicle, searched them, and transferred them to The Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility, known as Ward 209 of Evin Prison.

In protest against her family’s detention, Pakhshan began a hunger strike, which she ended after learning that her family members were released on bail after two weeks of solitary confinement. After being held in solitary confinement in Ward 209 for three months and three weeks, she was transferred to the women’s ward of Evin Prison on December 10, 2023.

Later, Aziz Azizi, Porshang Azizi, and Hossein Abbasi were sentenced to one year in prison each by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, also under Judge Iman Afshari, for “assisting a criminal in escaping prosecution and conviction.” Their sentences were upheld by the Tehran Court of Appeals on September 27, and their appeal was forwarded to the Supreme Court.

A source close to Azizi’s family told HRANA:
“Pakhshan has no affiliations with any groups. She worked as a social worker for 10 years in refugee camps in Rojava. The groups she worked with were fighting against ISIS—an enemy of both the Islamic Republic and the Quds Force. There was no direct conflict between Pakhshan’s associates and Iranian forces, a fact clearly evident in her case.”

In mid-October 2024, during a protest by female prisoners in Evin following the execution of Reza Rasaei and a clash with prison guards, Azizi was accused of “assaulting an officer and disobedience” and was sentenced to six months in prison by the Criminal Court.

Also, in August, 2024, Azizi faced new accusations of “inciting unrest in prison” during the second round of the 2024 presidential election, brought before Branch 3 of the Evin Prosecutor’s Office.

A native of Mahabad, Azizi has a history of arrests and judicial encounters. In 2009, she was detained on charges of political activity and was released after four months on bail.

Mokhtar Alboshokeh Exposes Torture and Medical Neglect in Ahvaz Police Detention

ahvaz, Mokhtar Alboshokeh, Sheiban Prison, مختار آلبوشوکه

HRANA News Agency – Mokhtar Alboshokeh, a political prisoner held in Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz, has described the physical and psychological torture he endured in one of the police detention facilities in Ahvaz in an open letter.

In the letter, he recounts how officers subjected him to verbal sexual harassment and repeatedly struck his abdomen despite being aware of his hernia condition. These violent acts exacerbated his illness, causing severe pain. Alboshokeh, who is serving a life sentence, also reveals that he has been deprived of essential medical treatment, despite medical recommendations. Instead of receiving appropriate care, he has been forced to rely on heavy painkillers and medications to endure the pain caused by his condition and the torture.

Previously, Alboshokeh was removed from prison on orders from the Iranian Cyber Police (FATA) and was subsequently beaten while in one of the police detention centers in Ahvaz. His letter details the worsening of his condition due to the violent acts and the resulting injuries.

Here is the full text of Mokhtar Alboshokeh’s letter:

“When you’ve been in prison for 14 years with a life sentence plus five more years, even a glimpse of the streets, cars in motion, the trees lining the boulevards, or the hurried faces of people seems like embarking on a luxurious tour to see the most beautiful sights in the world. That’s why, on December 6, 2024, when I was called and escorted to a car within the prison grounds, a spark of excitement ignited in me. This feeling lasted only until I left the prison gate with a group of plainclothes agents I didn’t recognize. The person in the front seat turned, punched me hard in the face, and instructed his colleague beside me, ‘Put a blindfold and handcuffs on this scum!’

Holding my aching face, I resisted while the two officers beside me wrenched my hands away, forcing them behind my back to handcuff me. Their aggressive actions caused severe pain as I caught the last fleeting glimpses of the world outside the prison before a blindfold plunged me into complete darkness. At that moment, it struck me: ‘Mokhtar, this isn’t a sightseeing trip. There will be no boulevards, trees, cars, or faces of passersby to marvel at.’ But even then, I didn’t anticipate the extent of torture awaiting me—especially after spending 14 years in prison!

I tried to reassure myself: ‘I’ve already spent 14 years in prison with a life sentence for a crime I didn’t commit. What more could they want from me to justify tormenting me further?’ While I was lost in these thoughts, a powerful punch to my lower abdomen left me doubled over in pain. Reflexively, I said, ‘Please, don’t hit me! I have a severe hernia.’ The officer next to me, seemingly thrilled by this information, sneered and said, ‘Oh, even better!’ He hurled vulgar sexual insults and added, ‘A hernia, huh? I’ll make you forget all about it!’ before landing another brutal punch to the same spot.

During the drive to their detention center, their relentless barrage of obscene insults directed at my mother, sister, and family was so psychologically painful that it almost distracted me from the physical pain of their punches and slaps. After arriving at the facility—later revealed to belong to the Ahvaz Cyber Police (FATA)—I endured severe torture for several days.

I lost track of time but eventually passed out from the repeated punches and kicks, especially to my abdomen. When I regained consciousness, I found myself chained to a hospital bed with handcuffs and leg shackles. A man, presumably a doctor, was pleading with the officers, saying, ‘This man has a severe hernia, and there’s a high risk of rupture. He needs to stay here and undergo immediate surgery.’ Ignoring him as though he were talking to a wall, the plainclothes officers dragged me off the hospital bed after re-blindfolding and handcuffing me, returning me to their torture chamber.

This cycle of torture, vulgar insults aimed at my family, losing consciousness, being taken to the hospital, the doctor’s pleas for urgent treatment, and the officers’ indifference repeated itself. All of this happened while I was on a hunger strike. Eventually, I was returned to Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz. And why did they do all this? Because they found my name in the contact list of a phone belonging to someone who had been arrested. I’ve been in their prison for 14 years!

When I returned to the prison ward, I initially thought I had been gone for over two months. My cellmates reminded me it had only been 12 days—from December 6 to December 18. Now, a month after those events, I feel an irreparable void inside me—not because of the physical torture, but because of the psychological torment of their relentless vulgar insults against my loved ones. It’s a wound that will never heal.”

Background on Mokhtar Alboshokeh

Mokhtar Alboshokeh was arrested by security forces in March 2011 in the city of Khalafabad (also known as Ramshir) in Khuzestan Province. In July 2012, he was sentenced to death by Branch 3 of the Ahvaz Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Seyyed Mohammad Bagher Mousavi, on charges of moharebeh (waging war against God), efsad-e-fel-arz (spreading corruption on earth), propaganda against the Islamic Republic, and actions against national security. His death sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment.

Report on the Latest Situation of Fatemeh Sepehri in Vakilabad Prison, Mashhad

Fatemeh Sepehri, Hossein Sepehri, Mashhad, Mohammad Hossein Sepehri, Vakilabad prison, فاطمه سپهری

HRANA News Agency – Fatemeh Sepehri, a political prisoner held in Vakilabad Prison, Mashhad, is enduring poor physical and environmental conditions despite needing regular medical care. Due to a heart condition and past surgery, she requires quarterly medical examinations.

According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists in Iran, Sepehri’s specialized medical needs remain unmet in prison, contributing to her deteriorating condition.

Her brother, Asghar Sepehri, stated that Fatemeh was examined by a cardiac surgeon on December 25 due to her heart condition. Additionally, three days later, she was seen by an orthopedic specialist for severe pain in both hands. The doctor administered pain-relieving injections and prescribed 10 physical therapy sessions, attributing the pain to psychological stress and the pressures of the prison environment.

Since December 5, Sepehri has only been allowed two hours of daily outdoor time under the supervision of a guard. Her brother emphasized that these harsh conditions are exacerbating her physical and mental health challenges.

Following her heart surgery in October last year, Sepehri has repeatedly requested medical or conditional leave, all of which have been denied by security agencies and the prison’s overseeing judge.

In June of 2024, Sepehri and her brothers, Mohammad-Hossein Sepehri and Hossein Sepehri, were sentenced to a total of 18 years and six months in prison. The charges against her included “assembly and collusion against national security,” “insulting the Supreme Leader,” and “propaganda against the regime,” as well as an additional charge of “supporting a hostile government (Israel).”

Sepehri is currently serving a sentence from a prior case in Vakilabad Prison. She was temporarily released on medical leave on October 16, 2023, but was re-arrested at her home in Mashhad just three days later, and returned to prison.

In February 2023, the Mashhad Criminal Court sentenced her to an additional one year of imprisonment and a fine of 20 million tomans for “spreading falsehoods and disturbing public opinion.” She was also arrested on September 21 of that year at her home and transferred to Vakilabad Prison.

Fatemeh Sepehri is one of the signatories of a letter calling for the resignation of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In the initial trial, Branch 4 of the Mashhad Revolutionary Court sentenced her to five years of imprisonment, later reduced to three years and six months on appeal. In May, 2023, this sentence was conditionally suspended for five years, leading to her temporary release.

Letter from Six Sunni Prisoners: “Officials Beat Prisoners and Erase the Footage”

HRANA News Agency – Six Sunni prisoners detained in Vakilabad Prison, Mashhad, have written a letter exposing violence and inhumane behavior by prison officials.

The signatories—Isa Eidmohammadi, Farhad Shakeri, Habib Pir-Mohammadi, Abdolrahman Gorgij, Abdolbaset Avarsan, and Abdolhakim Azim Gorgij—have reported that prison officials assault prisoners and erase video evidence from surveillance cameras. They also criticized poor physical and mental health conditions, unfair sentences, and lack of attention to medical issues, calling for the United Nations and human rights organizations to respond.

These six Sunni prisoners protested the dire conditions of prisoners through their letter, demanding immediate action by international bodies to hold the Iranian government accountable and ensure transparency. In their letter, the prisoners highlighted issues such as prolonged uncertainty for detainees, harsh prison sentences, and neglect of medical needs, including both physical and psychological concerns. They expressed outrage at the violence and insults routinely inflicted by prison staff, emphasizing that officials often delete footage from prison surveillance cameras to conceal evidence of abuse.

The full text of this letter:

“Together, We Can Overthrow the Dictator…”

What is Happening in the Dictator’s Prisons?

In the name of the homeland, the love within every honorable and pure-hearted person.

Once again, crimes against humanity rage on.

In this era of democracy, freedom, and equality, the news and images from the dreadful prisons of the cursed criminal Bashar al-Assad clearly expose the bloodthirstiness of this tyrant, who has claimed the lives of millions. This alone illustrates the hatred such dictators harbor for freedom and equality. Moreover, this criminal is merely a pupil of the cruel regime of Khamenei, the dictator.

With the fall of these criminals, many more atrocities will come to light. Sadly, we have repeatedly witnessed the suffering of our defenseless compatriots in Iranian prisons. Despite testimonies and evidence from our fellow citizens, International organizations and human rights bodies have failed to take decisive action.

Every day, we witness new crimes committed by this dictatorial regime.

What happens in the tyrant’s prisons?

Fathers have remained in limbo for nearly a decade, only to find their children have grown into adults in their absence.
Long-term imprisonments have pushed families to the brink of collapse, poverty, and corruption.
Young people have gone gray in these prisons while their parents have suffered strokes from longing and grief.
Divorce, broken families, and countless other tragedies.

Meanwhile, the regime labels us as “delusional” while allowing political, ideological, and security prisoners to be beaten by its prison agents with impunity. They then brazenly erase footage from surveillance cameras and dismiss the prisoners’ accounts as fabricated lies against the regime’s officials. A recent instance of such a crime took place in Ward 6/1.

We, the political and ideological prisoners, demand that the United Nations and human rights organizations expose the horrors of the dictator’s prisons and hold these tyrants accountable, so that such inhumane acts are never repeated. Only then can we ensure a peaceful and beautiful future for the generations to come.

And a final word: Let us not forget that our loved ones have withered and perished under the yoke of tyranny. We will forever raise the cry of freedom for those still in captivity and for the families of those who gave their lives for the liberation of our homeland. Together, for the freedom of our country.

Details About the Authors of the Letter:

Isa Eidmohammadi, Farhad Shakeri, Abdolhakim Azim Gorgij, Abdolrahman Gorgij, and Abdolbaset Avarsan were arrested in 2015 by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence in connection with a shared case. A year later, they were transferred to Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad. In 2019, Branch 1 of the Mashhad Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Mahmoud Davoudabadi, sentenced Shakeri, Eidmohammadi, Abdolhakim Azim Gorgij, and Abdolrahman Gorgij to death on charges of “armed rebellion (Baghi) through membership in the Salafi group Party of Furqan and membership in the National Solidarity Front of Sunni Muslims in Iran.” Avarsan was sentenced to 15 years in prison for “armed rebellion through membership in ISIS.”

The death sentences were overturned by Branch 41 of the Supreme Court, presided over by Judge Ali Razini, and the case was referred to a parallel court for retrial. However, in August 2023, Branch 4 of the Mashhad Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Ahmadian Salami, once again sentenced the prisoners to death. In August 2024, Branch 39 of the Supreme Court upheld the death sentences.

As for Habib Pir-Mohammadi, another Sunni prisoner, he was arrested at his workplace on March 17, 2018. After 103 days of interrogation at The Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility in Mashhad, he was transferred to Vakilabad Prison. On February 24, 2019, Branch 4 of the Mashhad Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Hadi Mansouri, sentenced him to a total of 22 years in prison on charges including “armed rebellion (Baghi),” “assembly and collusion against internal security,” and “propaganda against the regime.” Based on Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, 15 years of imprisonment as the most severe sentence will be enforced.

HRANA News Agency – Akbar Bagheri, a political detainee suffering from multiple health conditions, has been held in detention for over two months, with no information available about his whereabouts. The uncertainty surrounding his health has raised serious concerns among his family and loved ones.

A source close to Mr. Bagheri’s family confirmed the news to HRANA, stating: “It has been over 60 days since Mr. Bagheri’s arrest. He suffers from blood-related conditions, intestinal issues, liver problems, and hemorrhoids. He has been denied access to his medications and has had no contact with his family.”

Despite the family’s persistent inquiries and his lawyer’s efforts to obtain information from judicial authorities, no clear details about his location or condition have been provided, further intensifying the family’s concerns.

Akbar Bagheri was arrested by security forces in Tehran on November 10, 2024. As of this report, the reasons for his arrest and the charges against him remain unknown.

Mr. Bagheri was previously arrested by security forces in Tehran in 2017 and transferred to Evin Prison. In the summer of 2018, he was sentenced by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Salavati, to nine years in prison on charges of “propaganda against the regime” and “collusion and assembly against national security.” This sentence was upheld in the Court of Appeals.

Following the events at Evin Prison in October 2022, Mr. Bagheri was transferred along with several others to Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj. He was ultimately released from Rajai Shahr Prison on May 8, 2023, under a general amnesty directive.
