He has undergone interrogation and been charged without his basic rights being respected, and he is at risk of receiving a death sentence based on the charges outlined in the indictment against him.

A source close to Ali Akbar Zar's family stated that he went through interrogation and was charged without being afforded the basic rights of an accused. During the investigation and preparation of the indictment, he was acquitted of charges related to "assembly and collusion to commit crimes against internal/external security" and "enmity against God and corruption on earth," but the indictment was prepared with charges such as "insulting the Prophet."

It is worth mentioning that Ali Akbar Zar was arrested following a report filed by the Tehran Police Command Operations Center. He was detained by security police officers in Tehran, transferred to one of the security wards of Evin Prison, and subjected to interrogation.

After completing the interrogation process, on July 25, 2023, Ali Akbar Zar was transferred to one of the security wards of Evin Prison concerning charges related to "posting content on his personal Instagram page." He completed his interrogation period, and then his case was prepared with charges of "insulting the Prophet through disrespecting the Ahl al-Bayt and Islamic sanctities," "propaganda against the regime," "insulting the leadership," and "insulting the founder of the Islamic Republic." The indictment was issued by Mojtaba Jabarian, the investigator of Branch 6 of the Prosecutor’s Office in District 33 of Tehran, located in Evin Prison.

Additionally, in another part of the indictment against Ali Akbar Zar, he was acquitted of charges of "enmity against God and corruption on earth" and "assembly and collusion to commit crimes against internal/external security," with a non-prosecution order issued for these two charges. However, regarding the other charges, his case was referred to the Revolutionary Court and Criminal Court 2 of Tehran after the indictment was prepared.
