HRANA – Seven individuals arrested during the January 2026 protests have been sentenced by the Tehran Revolutionary Court to a combined 60 years and six months in prison.

According to HRANA, Amir Sabbaghi, Mehdi Sabbaghi, Abolfazl Sabbaghi, Hamid Sabbaghi, Abedin Golshani and Saeed Javid, all held in the Greater Tehran Prison, along with Samira Mohebbi, who is incarcerated in Qarchak Prison in Varamin, have been sentenced to prison terms.

According to information obtained by HRANA, the sentences were recently issued by Branch 23 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court. The seven defendants received prison sentences totaling 60 years and six months.

The charges against each defendant and their respective prison sentences are as follows:

1. Amir Sabbaghi was sentenced to 21 years in prison on charges of “carrying out operational activities against national security.”
2. Abedin Golshani was sentenced to 16 years in prison on charges of “carrying out operational activities against national security.”
3. Samira Mohebbi was sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of “carrying out operational activities against national security.”
4. Mehdi Sabbaghi was sentenced to one year in prison for “propaganda against the regime,” three years and six months for “assembly and collusion,” and three years and six months for “membership in groups opposed to the regime.”
5. Abolfazl Sabbaghi was sentenced to two years and six months in prison on charges of “assembly and collusion.”
6. Hamid Sabbaghi was sentenced to two years in prison on charges of “assembly and collusion.”
7. Saeed Javid was sentenced to one year in prison on charges of “propaganda against the regime.”

Amir Sabbaghi, Abedin Golshani, Samira Mohebbi, Mehdi Sabbaghi, Abolfazl Sabbaghi, Hamid Sabbaghi, and Saeed Javid were arrested in connection with the protests that erupted in December 2025 and January 2026. Samira Mohebbi was subsequently transferred to Qarchak Prison in Varamin, while the other six individuals were transferred to the Greater Tehran Prison.

It is worth noting that these seven individuals are co-defendants in the same case as B0rzou Rezaei, who was previously sentenced to death by Branch 23 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court. On October 7, 2026, Rezaei was transferred from the Greater Tehran Prison to Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.
