Nirvana Torbati-Nejad Sentenced to 6 Months in Prison

HRANA – Nirvana Torbati-Nejad, a resident of Gorgan, has been sentenced to six months of custodial imprisonment by Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court in this city.

This verdict was issued on November 25 by Branch 1 of the Gorgan Revolutionary Court and was delivered yesterday to Ramazan Haji-Mashhadi, Ms. Torbati-Nejad’s defense attorney. According to the ruling, Ms. Torbati-Nejad has been sentenced to six months of custodial imprisonment on the charge of ‘propaganda against the regime.’

Some time earlier, this citizen had also been summoned by the IRGC Intelligence and interrogated for several hours.

In a separate case, this political defendant had previously been prosecuted on charges of ‘membership in groups opposed to the regime with the intent to disrupt national security,’ and ‘assembly and collusion to commit crimes against internal security.’ She had been sentenced by the court to ten months in prison and a two-million-toman fine. She was ultimately acquitted of the charges at the appeals stage.

Nirvana Torbati-Nejad was arrested by security forces at her workplace on September 10, 2023, and was released on October 5, 2023 on bail.
