Bahman Mavati, a political prisoner, is currently serving a five-year sentence in Urmia Prison. Originally sentenced to ten years, his term was later reduced to five years.

A source close to Mavati’s family confirmed his conviction for “collaboration with anti-regime groups” by the Urmia Revolutionary Court. The Supreme Court subsequently reduced his sentence from ten to five years.

Mavati, hailing from Bukan, was arrested in March-April 2023 and has since been incarcerated in Urmia Prison.
