Farzad Moazzami Goodarzi, a relative of Reza Moazzami Goodarzi, one of the victims of the November 2019 nationwide protests, has been sentenced to five years in prison by the Tehran Revolutionary Court after months of uncertainty in Evin Prison.

In a ruling issued by Branch 29 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Seyed Ali Mazloumi, Moazzami Goodarzi was sentenced to five years in prison on charges of “assembly and collusion against national security.”

Farzad Moazzami Goodarzi, a close relative of Reza Moazzami Goodarzi (who was killed during the November 2019 protests), was arrested on April 4, 2023, by security forces in front of his residence in Borujerd. He was later transferred to the Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility, known as Ward 209 of Evin Prison, where he remained in limbo for over five months.

He had previously been arrested by security forces in Borujerd on September 5, 2023, but was released after a short period on bail from the city’s Prison.

It is worth noting that Reza Moazzami Goodarzi, aged around 24, was killed by gunfire in Shahriar on November 17, 2019, during the nationwide protests. His body was laid to rest in Borujerd.

Farzad Moazzami Goodarzi was apprehended in Borujerd on April 4, 2024, by security forces and taken to an undisclosed location. Notably, his relative, Reza Moazzami Goodarzi, lost his life during the 2019 nationwide protests, also known as the Aban Protests, due to gunfire from regime forces.

According to a source close to Goodarzi’s family who confirmed the arrest to HRANA, security forces arrived at his residence at 10:00 AM for his arrest. The agents attempted a search, though they were unsuccessful due to his mother’s resistance. Eventually, they confiscated some of Goodarzi’s personal belongings along with items belonging to his family.

As of now, the reasons behind Goodarzi’s arrest, his current location, and the charges against him remain undisclosed.

It’s worth noting that Goodarzi had previously been arrested on September 5, 2023, by security forces but was subsequently released on bail from the local prison.
