HRANA – Narges Mohammadi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and human rights activist, has been sentenced by the Mashhad Revolutionary Court to seven years and six months in prison, two years of internal exile to Khaf County, and a two-year travel ban.

Her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, announced in a public statement that Branch One of the Mashhad Revolutionary Court sentenced his client to six years in prison on the charge of assembly and collusion, one and a half years in prison for propaganda activities, and, as supplementary punishment, two years of travel ban and two years of exile to Khaf County.
Mr. Nili added that the court session was held on Saturday and that the verdict was issued and formally communicated to him afterward. According to him, following the issuance of the ruling, Ms. Mohammadi’s continued detention in a security detention facility is unlawful, and she should be transferred to prison. Given her medical conditions, it is expected that she be temporarily released on bail to allow access to medical treatment.

Ms. Mohammadi was arrested on December 12 of this year during a memorial ceremony marking the seventh day after the death of Khosrow Alikordi at Ghadir Mosque in Mashhad, along with several other activists and citizens.

She was previously released from Evin Prison in late last year in connection with an earlier conviction.

In June 2021, after being released from Zanjan Prison under the law reducing prison sentences, Ms. Mohammadi was sentenced in a case opened against her during that period by Branch 1177 of Criminal Court II at the Qods Judicial Complex in Tehran to 30 months of discretionary imprisonment, 80 lashes, and the payment of two fines.

In November 2021, she was arrested by security forces in Karaj during a memorial ceremony marking the second anniversary of the death of Ebrahim Ketabdar, one of those killed during the November 2019 protests. She was later sentenced by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court to eight years of discretionary imprisonment, 74 lashes, two years of exile, and additional social deprivations.

In October 2022, in another case opened against her during imprisonment, Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced her to one year and three months of discretionary imprisonment, along with other supplementary punishments. In August 2023, she was again sentenced by the Tehran Revolutionary Court to one year of discretionary imprisonment.

In January 2024, in another part of her case, Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari, sentenced her on the charge of propaganda against the state to 15 months in prison, two years of exile outside Tehran and neighboring provinces, a two-year travel ban, two years’ prohibition from membership in social and political groups, and a two-year ban on the use of smartphones.

In late June 2024, in yet another case formed while she was in prison, Branch 29 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced her to one year in prison on the charge of propaganda against the state.

In late October 2024, following protests by women prisoners in Evin Prison after learning of the execution of Reza Rasaei and clashes with prison guards, a new case was opened against Ms. Mohammadi and several other inmates. She was sentenced by Criminal Court II of the Qods Judicial Complex in Tehran, presided over by Judge Abolfazl Ameri Shahrabi, to six months in prison on charges of assaulting an officer and disobedience.

Narges Mohammadi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate facing multiple convictions, has so far been sentenced to a total of 15 years and six months of discretionary imprisonment. These sentences include 30 months in June 2021, eight years in November 2021, one year and three months in October 2022, one year in August 2023, 15 months in January 2024, one year in June 2024, and six months in October 2024.
In addition to prison terms, she has been sentenced to 154 lashes, two years of exile, a two-year travel ban, and multiple forms of social deprivation.

In 2023, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Narges Mohammadi by the Norwegian Nobel Committee “for her courageous fight for freedom and human rights over three decades.”

Lawyer Javad Alikordi Arrested by Mashhad’s Ministry of Intelligence Forces

Javad Alikordi, Khosrow Alikordi, Mashhad, Vakilabad prison

HRANA – Today, Saturday, March 1, 2025, Javad Alikordi, a defense attorney, was arrested by Mashhad’s Ministry of Intelligence forces and transferred to Vakilabad Prison in the city. Previously, the appeals court revoked the suspension of his prison sentence, ordering its enforcement.

Khosrow Alikordi, also a defense attorney, announced that his brother was detained in Mashhad on March 1, following a decision by Branch 37 of the Khorasan Razavi Appeals Court on February 26 to lift the suspension of his prison sentence.

Alikordi had previously been sentenced in March 2022 to two years in prison for “forming and leading a group with the intent to overthrow the government and disrupt national security,” eight months for “propaganda against the regime,” and one year and five months for “insulting the Supreme Leader.” Additionally, he was banned from teaching, joining political and social groups, and leaving the country for two years as supplementary punishment. After serving part of his sentence and receiving conditional release, his sentence had been suspended for three years.

However, on December 11, 2024, he was sentenced again to a fine for “propaganda against the regime” and was banned from traveling abroad and engaging in online activities as additional punishment. This new conviction led to the revocation of his prior sentence suspension, converting his suspended punishment into an enforceable prison term.

Javad Alikordi, a lawyer and university professor, was initially sentenced in early 2021 by the Mashhad Revolutionary Court to eight years and seven months in prison, along with a two-year ban on employment and teaching in educational institutions, a travel ban, and a prohibition from joining political and social groups. His sentence was later reduced to four years and one month on appeal, with two years of imprisonment being enforceable under Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code. He was ultimately transferred to Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad on July 15, 2021, to serve his sentence.
