the overturning of the 18-year prison sentence and 74 lashes for Maonchehr Bakhtiari.

The spouse of Manouchehr Bakhtiari a pro-monarchy political prisoner at Choubindar Prison in Qazvin, announced the overturning of the 18-year prison sentence and 74 lashes for Pouya Bakhtiari's father.

Sara Abbasi revealed this news on her Instagram account, stating that a Karaj Revolutionary Court branch had issued this sentence unjustly.

The Alborz Province Appeals Court, citing the "incompetence" of the adjudicating court, has overturned the issued sentence and referred it for reconsideration to the Revolutionary Court of Kish County.

last year, Manouchehr Bakhtiari was sentenced by the Karaj Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Musa Asif al-Hosseini, on charges of "gathering and collusion with the intention of committing crimes against national security," "anti-regime propaganda activities," and "collaboration with anti-regime groups," to 18 years in prison and 74 lashes.
