HRANA News Agency – A judicial case has been opened against journalist Mohammad Parsi and referred to Branch 9 of the Culture and Media Prosecutor’s Office.

A source familiar with the matter confirmed to HRANA that yesterday, April 29, 2025, Mr. Parsi received a summons notifying him that a case had been filed against him and referred to Branch 9 of the Culture and Media Prosecutor’s Office. The charges are reportedly linked to content he shared online, including posts on X (formerly Twitter).

Earlier, on April 22, security forces searched the journalist’s residence and confiscated electronic devices, including his mobile phone.

In November 2024, Parsi had previously been formally charged with “propaganda against the regime” and “spreading falsehoods.” In another case, he had been fined for writing about the details surrounding the death of Nika Shakarami.

The journalist also faced legal proceedings in July 2024 over posts related to the presidential election.

Mohammad Parsi, editor-in-chief of the literary magazine Kandoo and director of two other media outlets, has a history of judicial confrontations related to his professional activities.
