Mohammad Abed raftar

Mohammad Abedraftar, who was arrested during the protests in January 2026, has been sentenced to 21 years in prison and a two-year ban from residing in Isfahan Province. This sentence was issued and communicated by Branch 47 of the Isfahan Province Court of Appeal. Previously, he had received the same sentence in the initial trial, which included a permanent ban from residing in Isfahan Province.

The charges against him included engaging in propaganda activities against the regime, resulting in a one-year prison sentence; inciting and enticing to war and murder, leading to a five-year prison sentence; gathering and colluding to commit crimes against security, which also resulted in a five-year prison sentence; and attempting to manufacture unconventional weapons (Molotov cocktails) with the intent to cooperate with hostile states, which led to a 10-year prison sentence. Additionally, as a supplementary punishment, he was sentenced to a two-year ban from residing in Isfahan Province.

This individual was arrested by government forces on 8 January 2026 and was temporarily released in late March of the same year after posting a bail of five billion tomans. On 26 April 2026, Branch 102 of the Shahin Shahr and Meymeh Criminal Court sentenced him to 21 years in prison and a permanent ban from residing in Isfahan Province. Due to the absence of an independent Revolutionary Court in this city, his case was handled in the county's criminal court.
