Behrouz Rahmani has also been fined 25 million toumams, approximately $496 per the current exchange rate, and he has also been barred from all educational and cultural activities for ten years on the same charges. Meanwhile, Sanaz Alizadeh Roshankouhi has also been sentenced to a fine of 25 million toumans, approximately $496 per the current exchange rate, and she has been barred from all cultural and educational activities for ten years. She was charged with “deviant educational and propaganda activity against holy Islam.” Providing instruction to children using the Montessori method in a kindergarten was the sole basis for the conviction and sentencing of these three Bahai citizens.

شیده شهیدی، خواهر شعله شهیدی، اعلام کرده است که شعله و همسرش کوروش زیاری، دو شهروند بهایی ساکن استان گلستان، در تاریخ ۴ اکتبر ۲۰۲۵ در گنبدکاووس بازداشت شده‌اند.
کوروش زیاری در محل کار خود دستگیر و به مکانی نامعلوم منتقل شده و دو هفته بعد، همسرش شعله شهیدی نیز در پی پیگیری وضعیت او بازداشت شده است. تاکنون هیچ‌گونه اطلاع رسمی درباره اتهامات آن‌ها ارائه نشده و هر دو از حق دسترسی به وکیل محروم مانده‌اند.

در این مدت، خواهر کوروش درگذشته است و با وجود درخواست خانواده، مقامات اجازه حضور کوروش در مراسم خاکسپاری را حتی با سپردن وثیقه صادر نکرده‌اند. هر دو اکنون در زندان گرگان نگهداری می‌شوند. آن‌ها فرزندی معلول دارند که تنها یک‌بار توانسته با مادرش تماس تلفنی داشته باشد. خانواده می‌گویند پدر و مادر سالخورده شعله و کوروش نیاز به مراقبت این زوج دارند و با مشکلات جدی معیشتی و روحی روبه‌رو شده‌اند.

شیده شهیدی تأکید می‌کند که بازداشت این دو شهروند بهایی در امتداد فشارهای سیستماتیک علیه بهاییان و نقض جدی حقوق بشر است.

Hengameh Sharifinia, Foad Abdolghaffari, and Fahim Agahi have been sentenced to prison. The ruling also orders the confiscation of their property and imposes restrictions on travel abroad and participation in groups and associations.

According to HRANA, the sentences were issued in September 2026 by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati. Sharifinia received 10 years in prison on a charge of engaging in deviant educational or proselytizing activity contrary to or undermining Islamic law, and five years on a charge of membership in groups allegedly aimed at undermining national security. She was also deprived of social rights for 10 years.

Abdolghaffari and Agahi were each sentenced to five years in prison on a charge of proselytizing activity deemed contrary to Islamic law and a further five years on a charge of membership in groups allegedly aimed at undermining national security. Each was also fined 80 million toumans (approximately $320).

All three citizens were also banned from leaving the country and from participating in groups and associations for two years. Sharifinia and Agahi were arrested in Tehran in October 2025, while the homes of several Baha’i citizens were searched. Abdolghaffari was arrested during the same period while his home in Tehran was being searched.
