Ilam’s Revolutionary Court has issued a verdict sentencing Sasan Chaman-Ara to three months in prison, inclusive of the detention period, and a fine on political charges.

The court’s decision, notified to Chaman-Ara on March 9, states that Chaman-Ara is found guilty of “propaganda against the regime in favor of anti-regime groups and media.”

Chaman-Ara was taken into custody by security forces on January 17, 2024, and subsequently held in the Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility in Ilam for seven days. He was released temporarily on bond after the initial detention period.

Aged 34 and a resident of Ilam, Chaman-Ara has a history of prior arrests and convictions related to his activism.
