HRANA News Agency – Mohammad-Amin Shamsi, Amir Amraei, and Kamyar Amraei, three individuals arrested during the nationwide protests of 2026, have been sentenced by judicial authorities to a total of 9 years and 3 months of discretionary imprisonment.
According to HRANA, citing Kurdpa, three more detainees of the 2026 protests have been sentenced to prison terms.
According to the report, Mohammad-Amin Shamsi, Amir Amraei, and Kamyar Amraei, three residents of Karaj, have each been sentenced to three years and one month of discretionary imprisonment. They are currently being held in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.
In this regard, Mohammad-Amin Shamsi has appealed the verdict, and his case has been referred to the Court of Appeals for review.
The report states that precise details regarding the court branch that issued the sentences have not been disclosed. However, it is believed that the rulings were issued by one of the Revolutionary Courts in Karaj on charges such as “assembly and collusion against national security.”
The three prisoners were reportedly subjected to repeated beatings during their detention and were held for ten days in solitary confinement at an undisclosed location. During this period, they were denied access to legal counsel and family visits. Their physical and psychological condition was reported to be poor.
These individuals originally from Dareh Shahr in Ilam Province and residing in Karaj, were arrested by security forces on January 8 and 9, 2026, in connection with the nationwide protests.
It should be noted that protests and strikes by shopkeepers and bazaar merchants began in Tehran on Sunday, December 28, 2025, and within two days spread beyond markets and commercial centers. With the participation of students, citizens, and various social groups, these protests became one of the largest protest movements of recent years. Following the crackdown by security and law enforcement forces, thousands were killed or injured, and tens of thousands were arrested or summoned by security agencies.
