HRANA – Mahmoud Mehrabi, a political prisoner held in Dastgerd Prison, Isfahan, has been sentenced to a total of 10 years in prison along with complementary punishments.

According to his sister, Mahan Mehrabi, the sentence includes five years for “inciting and provoking people to war and killing,” three years for “ineffective incitement of regime forces to disobey orders,” one year for “propaganda against the regime,” and one year for “insulting the Supreme Leader and the founder of the Islamic Republic.”

Additional penalties include two years’ exile from his birthplace, a two-year ban on social media activity, a two-year travel ban, and a two-year prohibition on obtaining a passport.

Under Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, only the most severe sentence — five years in prison — will be enforceable.

In November 2024, Mehrabi was acquitted by the Isfahan Revolutionary Court of the charge of “corruption on earth,” which had previously led to a death sentence. This death sentence had been overturned in October 2024 by the Supreme Court, which accepted his request for retrial and referred the case to another branch for reconsideration.

In October 2023, Branch 2 of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office in Mobarakeh County issued an indictment against Mehrabi on charges including “corruption on earth through spreading falsehoods,” “propaganda against the regime on social media,” “ineffective incitement of military and law enforcement forces to refuse duties and surrender via social media,” “inciting people to war and killing to disrupt security,” and “insulting the Supreme Leader and Ruhollah Khomeini on social media.”

Mehrabi, about 36 years old, single, and a resident of Isfahan, worked in the electricity sector before his arrest.
