According to information received by the Hana Human Rights Organization, Mohammad Lotfifar, a resident of Mahabad, was recently transferred to Mahabad Prison to serve a sentence of five years and five months of Ta’zir imprisonment after being summoned to the Enforcement of Judgments Branch of the Mahabad Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office.
Lotfifar was previously arrested by Intelligence Department forces in Mahabad on June 20, 2025, and transferred to the detention facility of the same security agency in Orumiyeh. After several weeks of interrogation, he was transferred to Mahabad Prison. Following several months in detention, he was temporarily released on bail.
It should be noted that the First Branch of the Mahabad Revolutionary Court had sentenced Mohammad Lotfifar to 12 years of Ta’zir imprisonment on charges of acting against national security. On appeal, the West Azerbaijan Province Court of Appeals reduced his sentence to five years and five months of Ta’zir imprisonment.
