Based on information received by HRANA, Iman Sadeghi was arrested on January 31, 2026, during the nationwide protests of January 2026 at his family home in Kashan. Following his arrest, he was transferred to Kashan Prison and, despite more than three months having passed since his detention, he continues to be held there without legal clarification of his status.

It should be noted that protests and strikes by shopkeepers and bazaar merchants began in Tehran on Sunday, December 28, 2025, and within two days spread beyond markets and commercial centers. With the participation of students, citizens, and various social groups, these protests became one of the largest protest movements of recent years. Following the crackdown by security and law enforcement forces, thousands were killed or injured, and tens of thousands were arrested or summoned by security agencies.
