HRANA – Morteza Dolatpour, a resident of Qom, has been sentenced to nine months in prison by Branch 1 of the Qom Revolutionary Court.

The ruling was recently issued by Branch 1 of the Qom Revolutionary Court, presided over by Advisor Ali Akbar Ansarizadeh, against Mr. Dolatpour. He was initially sentenced to one year in prison on the charge of “propaganda against the regime,” but after submitting himself to the verdict, the sentence was reduced to nine months.

On Sunday, November 9, the hearing on his charge was held at the mentioned judicial authority.

Mr. Dolatpour, aged approximately 40, was arrested on September 18, 2025, in Qom by security forces and released five days later on bail.

He had previously been arrested in July-August 2020 by security forces. In that case, Branch 3 of the Qom Revolutionary Court convicted him on three charges. After the verdict was upheld on appeal, a 17-month prison term, issued as the most severe of the sentences, was enforceable. Ultimately, in April-May 2022, Branch 11 of the Qom Court of Appeals granted him conditional release from Qom Prison.
