Shayan Houshyar, a researcher from Urmia and a PhD student in Iranian history, was arrested on Sunday, August 2nd, to serve his prison sentence.

On 14 October 2025, Shayan Hoshyar, a doctoral student specialising in the history of Iran at the Islamic Azad University, Tehran branch, and a researcher of Turkish origin from Urmia, was arrested by security forces in Urmia.

Shayan Hoshyar, a researcher, writer, and doctoral student in Iranian history, was sentenced to three years and eight months of imprisonment by the First Branch of the Revolutionary Court in Urmia. His lawyer stated that the sentence was issued solely based on "political analysis, criticism of actions, and expressing different viewpoints."

According to his lawyer, the case against Shayan Hoshyar did not involve violence, organised actions against national security, organisational connections, calls for unrest, or even the slightest practical behaviour against the system.

Shayan Hoshyar is a well-known young figure in Urmia who has previously emphasised equality, solidarity, and mutual respect among nations in Iran in his writings and speeches. He had also been outspoken in defending the cultural and human rights of the Kurdish people and had strongly criticised hate speech against them.

روز سەشنبه ٢٢ مهرماه ١٤٠٤ (١٤ اکتبر ٢٠٢٥)، شایان هوشیار، دانشجوی دکترای تخصصی تاریخ ایران در دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد تهران و پژوهشگر تُرک اهل ارومیە توسط نیروهای امنیتی در ارومیە بازداشت شد.

شایان هوشیار، پژوهشگر، نویسنده و دانشجوی دکتری تخصصی تاریخ ایران، از سوی شعبه اول دادگاه انقلاب ارومیه به سه سال و هشت ماه حبس تعزیری محکوم شد. وکیل او می گوید این حکم صرفا بر مبنای «تحلیل سیاسی، نقد عملکردها و بیان دیدگاه های متفاوت» صادر شده است.

به نوشته وکیل وی: «در پرونده [شایان هوشیار] نه خشونتی وجود دارد، نه اقدام سازمان یافته ای علیه امنیت کشور، نه ارتباط تشکیلاتی، نه فراخوان آشوب و نه حتی کوچک ترین رفتار عملی علیه نظام.»

شایان هوشیار از جمله چهره های جوان و شناخته شده در ارومیه است که پیش تر نیز در نوشته ها و سخنرانی های خود بر برابری، همبستگی و احترام متقابل میان ملت ها در ایران تأکید کرده بود. وی با مواضع صریح خود در دفاع از حقوق فرهنگی و انسانی ملت کورد، از نفرت پراکنی علیە آنان به شدت انتقاد کرده بود.
