Arsalan Yazdani, a 43-year-old Baha’i resident of Karaj, was arrested at his home by security forces on Saturday, August 22, 2026, and transferred to Greater Tehran Prison to begin serving a three-year prison sentence. During the arrest, the agents also confiscated several personal belongings belonging to Yazdani and his family, including mobile phones and a laptop.
According to information received by the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, Yazdani’s sentence, which had previously included five years of enforceable imprisonment, was reduced to three years on appeal. He has now been imprisoned to serve this three-year sentence.
In a video recorded before his sentence was reduced, Yazdani said that he had been sentenced to five years in prison for “membership in the Baha’i community” and an additional year for “disseminating propaganda against the Islamic Republic,” with five years enforceable under Iran’s sentencing rules for multiple convictions. This explains why he refers to a five-year sentence in the video, although he was ultimately arrested to serve a reduced three-year term.
ارسلان یزدانی، شهروند بهائی ۴۳ ساله ساکن کرج، روز شنبه ۳۱ مرداد ۱۴۰۵ با یورش نیروهای امنیتی به منزلش بازداشت و برای اجرای حکم سه سال حبس به زندان تهران بزرگ منتقل شد. مأموران در جریان بازداشت، تعدادی از وسایل شخصی او و اعضای خانواده‌اش، از جمله تلفن‌های همراه و لپ‌تاپ، را نیز ضبط کردند.
بر اساس اطلاعات رسیده به مرکز اسناد حقوق بشر ایران، حکم آقای یزدانی که پیش‌تر شامل پنج سال حبس قابل اجرا بود، در مرحله تجدیدنظر به سه سال حبس کاهش یافته است. او اکنون برای تحمل همین محکومیت سه‌ساله بازداشت و زندانی شده است.
آقای یزدانی در ویدیویی که پیش از کاهش مجازات خود ضبط کرده، گفته است که به اتهام «عضویت در جامعه بهائی» به پنج سال حبس و بابت اتهام «تبلیغ علیه نظام» به یک سال حبس محکوم شده و مطابق مقررات تعدد جرائم، پنج سال از این حکم قابل اجرا بوده است. به همین دلیل، میزان محکومیتی که او در این ویدیو بیان می‌کند با حکم نهایی سه‌ساله‌ای که اکنون برای اجرای آن بازداشت شده، متفاوت است.

Arsalan Yazdani, a Baha’i resident of Karaj, Alborz Province, was serving a three-year prison sentence when he was transferred out of Greater Tehran Central Penitentiary, leaving his family without information about his whereabouts or condition. Yazdani is 43 years old and a father of two.
According to reports published by human rights outlets and on social media, he was transferred on September 9, 2026, without prior notice to his family. He has reportedly had no contact with them since, and his relatives remain unaware of his condition or the reason for his transfer.
Yazdani had been held at Greater Tehran Central Penitentiary since August 22, when he was arrested at his home to begin serving his sentence. Initially sentenced to six years in prison, he later had his sentence reduced to three years. The case dates back to his arrest in September 2021, when he was taken to the IRGC’s 1-A detention facility. He remained in custody until his release on bail in October that year.
