HRANA – Mehran Raouf, a political prisoner, has been released from Evin Prison under electronic ankle monitor supervision.

According to HRANA News Agency, Mehran Raouf has been released. Based on information received by HRANA, Mehran Raouf was released yesterday from Evin Prison under electronic ankle monitor supervision.

Raouf was arrested in October 2020 by the intelligence unit of the IRGC Intelligence and transferred to the IRGC’s security detention ward, known as Ward 2-A of Evin Prison.

In April 2023, he wrote a letter from prison protesting the rights that had been denied to him due to his status as a dual national and a political prisoner.

In August 2021, Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari, sentenced him to 10 years and 8 months of discretionary imprisonment on charges of participating in the administration of an illegal group and propaganda against the regime. The sentence was ultimately reduced to 7 years and 6 months of imprisonment.
