HRANA – Bijan Kazemi, a political prisoner currently held in Evin Prison, has been sentenced by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court to a total of 37 years and six months in prison.
Based on a ruling issued by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati, and recently communicated to him, he was sentenced to a total of 37 years and six months in prison on the charges brought against him in his case.
Bijan Kazemi, who had remained in pretrial detention until now, was tried in February of 2026 before Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court on charges including “assembly and collusion to commit crimes against national security, and membership in groups opposing the state.”
An informed source told HRANA: “In this case, he also faced an accusation related to ‘procuring a weapon for the assailant of Judges Razini and Moghiseh,’ an allegation that had previously been rejected by security interrogators and about which judicial authorities in Kuhdasht had remained silent.”
In mid-August 2025, Bijan Kazemi’s interrogation session was held at Branch 5 of the Prosecutor’s Office of District 33 in Tehran without the presence of a lawyer. At the end of the session, bail was set at four billion tomans, but the case officer opposed his release. Mr. Kazemi was later transferred to The Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility in Qom and returned to Evin Prison on September 25, 2025.
Bijan Kazemi has previously faced judicial harassment due to his activities.
