Transfer of Sahand Nourmohammadzadeh from the general ward of Rajai Shahr Prison
A knowledgeable source close to Sahand Nourmohammadzadeh’s family informed BBC Persian that officers have removed him from the general ward, and it is still unclear where he has been transferred to.
On the evening of April 1, 2023, Sahand Nourmohammadzadeh gave a phone interview from inside Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj to BBC Persian, in which he said that his trial lasted only 7 minutes and that he was tortured during all stages of his arrest and inside the prison.
Mr. Nourmohammadzadeh was previously sentenced to execution for the charge of ‘moharebeh’ (enmity against God), but his lawyer announced two days ago that his sentence has been changed to ten years of exile and six years of imprisonment.
