Mohammad Mehdi Mohammadi Rahbari, a 26-year-old citizen currently held in Evin Prison, has been sentenced to six years in prison and a substantial monetary fine by the court.

A source close to his family confirmed the news to HRANA, explaining, “Mr. Mohammadi was recently sentenced by the judiciary to six years in prison and fined 250 million tomans (approximately $4,200).” The source added that he was arrested last year due to his activities on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), ahead of the first anniversary of the 2022 nationwide protests. One of the main charges brought against him includes “manufacturing explosives for use in protests.”

Mohammadi was violently arrested on September 15, 2023, and subsequently transferred to Evin Prison. After some time in Ward 209, he was moved to the general ward.

Mohammad Mehdi Mohammadi is a resident of Varamin.
