Sara Abbasi, the wife of Manouchehr Bakhtiari, a monarchist political prisoner and the grieving father of the late Pouya Bakhtiari, announced on Instagram that a new sentence has been issued against her husband, further increasing pressure on him.
She stated that Manouchehr Bakhtiari has been convicted of "spreading false information online" and sentenced to 13 months and 15 days in prison. Previously, he had been sentenced to six months for "insulting the Supreme Leader."
Ms. Abbasi emphasized that these charges are fabricated and that her husband is being targeted simply for speaking out about the authorities' neglect of his illness and their refusal to grant him medical leave.
She also revealed that a new case has been opened against him in Branch 1 of the Qazvin Prosecutor’s Office without official notification, accusing him of "disturbing public opinion" through a virtual court session. Addressing the judiciary, she wrote: "Why not just sentence him to life in prison instead of repeatedly giving him false hope of release while fabricating new charges against him?"
