Prolonged Detention Without Verdict: 640 Days in Limbo for Political Detainee Hooman Seydali

Hooman Seydali, a political detainee, has been held for 640 days at Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz, with no resolution to his case. Despite attending a court hearing, no verdict has been issued.

Mr. Seydali has spent 21 months in detention, awaiting a legal decision. Earlier this year, a session at Branch 2 of the Ahvaz Revolutionary Court was held to address charges of alleged membership in anti-regime groups, yet no ruling has been made.

A source previously informed HRANA that the court had set a bail of 50 billion tomans for his temporary release, but his family’s inability to meet this high amount has resulted in his prolonged detention.

Hooman Seydali, 47, a resident of Izeh, was arrested by security forces on December 20, 2022, during the nationwide protests and later transferred to Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz.
