Based on information received by HRANA, Nemat Afshar was arrested on Monday, October 26, 2026, at his residence in Qazvin by local IRGC Intelligence agents.

A source close to his family confirmed the news to HRANA, stating: “About a month ago, the relevant authorities contacted Mr. Afshar’s bail guarantor regarding his previous conviction and informed them that he was required to report to prison to serve his sentence. However, no precise information has yet been obtained regarding the reason for Nemat Afshar’s arrest or his whereabouts. This uncertainty has raised concerns among his family and relatives.”
