HRANA News Agency – Samad Pourshah, a resident of Yasuj, has been sentenced to one year in prison by the city’s Revolutionary Court on charges of “propaganda against the regime.”

According to a verdict issued by the Revolutionary Court of Yasuj and personally delivered to him yesterday, Mr. Pourshah was convicted and sentenced to one year in prison. His trial took place on March 8, 2025, at the same court.

He was initially arrested by security forces in Yasuj in September 2023, during the first anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death. He was later released from Yasuj Prison in November 2023 after posting bail and securing a guarantor’s commitment.

In February 2024, the Revolutionary Court of Yasuj sentenced him to three months and one day in prison for “insulting the Supreme Leader” and a fine as a substitute for an additional three-month prison term for “propaganda against the regime.” Pourshah was transferred to Yasuj Prison in March 2024 to serve his sentence and was later released upon its completion.
