According to information received by the Hana Human Rights Organization, Issa Ebrahimzadeh, a political prisoner and detainee of the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests from Deh-Shams village in Oshnavieh County, was released from Naqadeh Central Prison on Monday, November 9, 2026, after serving nearly three years in prison.
Mr. Ebrahimzadeh was arrested by Ministry of Intelligence forces on November 20, 2022. After 52 days in detention, he was temporarily released on bail of 500 million tomans. In April 2023, the Oshnavieh Revolutionary Court sentenced him to a total of five years in prison on charges including “membership in groups opposed to the system” and “propaganda against the system,” of which four years were to be enforced as the most severe penalty. In February 2024, he was arrested again at his home and transferred to Naqadeh Prison to serve his sentence.
On July 19, 2024, during a five-day furlough, prison officials refused to extend his leave despite the serious heart condition of his son, Arez. Mr. Ebrahimzadeh attempted suicide and was admitted to the intensive care unit of Taleghani Hospital in Orumiyeh.
Ariz died while his father was in prison. Despite the family’s efforts, Mr. Ebrahimzadeh was denied the chance to be with his son in his final moments, and after the boy’s death he was granted only five days of leave. He returned to Naqadeh Prison on February 27, 2025.
Mr. Ebrahimzadeh has previously been arrested and subjected to judicial proceedings.
