The Ahvaz Revolutionary Court has handed down a three-year prison sentence to 23-year-old Shahab Nazari, a resident of Izeh.

As per the verdict issued on June 17, 2023, Nazari has been given a two-year sentence for “insulting the Supreme Leader of Iran,” and an additional one-year sentence for “propaganda against the regime.” Notably, he was acquitted of the charges of “inciting people to wage war to act against national security.”
Under Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, if the verdict is upheld on appeal, he will serve two years in prison for the first charge.
It’s worth mentioning that Nazari is facing another legal case where the Ahvaz Criminal Court has indicted him for “spreading falsehood.”Security forces arrested Shahab Nazari in Ahvaz on April 22, 2023. He was subsequently released on a 300-million-toman bail on May 21, 2023.
