HRANA News Agency – Asghar Amirzadegan, a teacher and union activist for educators in Fars Province, is currently held in Firouzabad Prison. He was previously sentenced to three years in prison by the Revolutionary Court of Firouzabad. His request for retrial was also rejected, citing the Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers’ Trade Associations.

Mr. Amirzadegan was arrested on April 12, 2025. He is facing a judicial sentence, which was upheld in full after the court rejected his retrial request.

He also received a one-year prison sentence for propaganda against the regime, amounting to a total of three years in prison.

However, the Iranian Teachers’ Union Council has stated that due to medical issues, he is not physically capable of enduring imprisonment. Despite a bail guarantee being provided, the prosecutor has opposed his release.
