According to reports received by Hana Human Rights Organization, Pouria Nasiri, a Kurdish undergraduate law student at Mahabad Azad University, has been sentenced by the Revolutionary Court of Mahabad to three months of suspended imprisonment for a period of two years.
Sources told Hana that his trial was held in August 2025 at the Mahabad Revolutionary Court, where he was prosecuted on the charge of “propaganda against the state.”
Previously, on Thursday, June 19, 2025, Nasiri was arrested by security forces in Mahabad without a judicial warrant. After being held for 19 days in detention, he was released on July 8, 2025, upon posting bail.
Nasiri had also been arrested earlier, on Monday, October 30, 2023, by security forces and held for some time in security detention centers.
Hana Human Rights Organization has repeatedly expressed concern over the arrest and prosecution of Kurdish activists and students on politically motivated security-related charges, stressing that such practices constitute a clear violation of citizens’ fundamental rights and individual freedoms.
