Asghar Sepehri, the brother of Pro-Monarchy political prisoners Fatemeh Sepehri and Mohammad Hossein Sepehri, wrote on his X account:
The indictment hearing for Fatemeh Sepehri and Mohammad Hossein Sepehri was held on Monday, January 27th, 2025, by Branch 905. They were charged with two offenses: 1. Insulting the Supreme Leader, 2. Propaganda against the regime.
On December 26, my brother and sister issued a statement from Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad, addressing Ali Khamenei, which led to this judicial session.
One of the sentences in their statement that enraged the regime was: 'Ali Khamenei, your situation is now worse than Bashar al-Assad’s was a month ago. You no longer have the power to suppress, nor the opportunity to deceive.'
During the hearing, the investigator told them they had insulted 'His Excellency' in their statement and asked them to present their final defense. My sister responded: 'I have neither a first defense nor a final one. My freedom will come with the overthrow of the Islamic Republic.'
The session was held online, and my sister requested that the camera be turned on so she could see the investigator, but he refused.
Many of those who interact with my brother and sister, whether in prison or court, are deeply afraid of revealing their names or faces. This fear clearly shows that they anticipate the imminent fall of the Islamic Republic and dread being held accountable for their actions.
It appears that the prison phone in Vakilabad has been repaired, and my sister was finally able to contact our family.
