Political prisoner Jasem Moghaddam remains in detention despite completing his sentence in September 2024. While his first case has been closed, his second case remains unaddressed after four months of uncertainty.
His new case was initiated by the IRGC Intelligence Organization, accusing him of supporting opposition media outlets. Moghaddam has denied these charges, but his case has been referred to the Ahvaz Revolutionary Court.
Jasem Moghaddam was arrested by security forces in Ahvaz on October 20, 2022, and taken to the 30-Metri Lashgarabad police station. During interrogation, he was subjected to severe torture and beatings, resulting in a broken nose and injuries around his eyes and eyebrows.
Following his arrest, the Ahvaz Prosecutor’s Office charged him with collaborating with opposition media and insulting Khamenei. Later, the Ministry of Intelligence fabricated additional charges of “waging war against the state” (Moharebeh) and “rebellion” (Baghi) against him.
Jasem Moghaddam has been held in detention for over 28 months without resolution and has now been transferred to Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz. Born in 1995 and a resident of Zoviyeh, Ahvaz, he continues to suffer from prolonged legal limbo.
