According to Kurdpa, the Criminal Court of Bukan has sentenced Zaniar Fattahian to 18 months in prison.

Fattahian was convicted of political charges of “spreading propaganda against the regime” and “inciting people to act against national security.”

On November 16, 2023, security forces arrested the 23-year-old Fattahian without presenting an arrest warrant. After 40 days of detention, he was released on bail of one billion tomans (approximately 20,000 dollars) pending the conclusion of legal proceedings.
