Political prisoners Reza Rezaie, Hossein Jafar, and Yasin Mokhtari are currently serving their sentences in Evin Prison. These individuals were previously sentenced by the Revolutionary Court to prison, exile, and flogging.
Based on information received by HRANA, these citizens were arrested in June-July last year and initially transferred to Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. They were then moved to the Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility, known as Ward 209 of Evin Prison, and later to Ward 4 of the same prison. The Revolutionary Court sentenced them each to 3 years and 9 months in prison, 3 years of forced residence in Kahnooj, loacted in Kerman Province, or Hajjiabad in Hormozgan Province, and 80 lashes.
The charges against them include “aiding and abetting in enmity against God (Moharebeh) through the destruction and burning of public property with the intent to oppose the Islamic regime, membership in the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) and other opposition groups described as armed and rebellious, engaging in propaganda activities in favor of anti-regime groups, and forming a terrorist group.”
According to an informed source, “Despite the finalization of their sentences in February last year, their sentences have not been officially recorded in the prison system. As a result, they have been unable to pursue their cases, request furlough, or apply for conditional release, and they continue to be in a state of legal limbo.”
Rezaie, Jafar, and Yasin Mokhtari are 30, 27, and 22 years old, respectively, and are from Isfahan.
