Mehdi Maskinnavaz was re-incarcerated in Bandar Anzali Prison

On Saturday, September 7th, Mehdi Maskinnavaz, a monarchist political prisoner, was re-incarcerated in Bandar Anzali Prison to continue serving his sentence.

Mehdi Maskin-Navaaz was first arrested in May 2019 on charges of "activities on social media and managing a Telegram channel with content aimed at overthrowing the regime." He was subsequently sentenced to 13 years and two months of imprisonment, two years of compulsory residency in Fahraj, Kerman, and banned from joining political groups. Last December, he set himself on fire in protest against being barred from visiting his young daughter.
