#Peyman_Farhangian, a poet and labor activist, has been sentenced to prison.
A previously suspended 7-year prison sentence has been converted into an enforceable sentence by Branch 18 of the Gilan Provincial Appeals Court.

According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, this change occurred after Mr. Farhangian was convicted in another case, resulting in a one-year prison sentence under Article 54 of the Islamic Penal Code. This article states that if a person commits another offense during the suspension period, the previous sentence can also be enforced.

On May 15, 2021, Mr. Farhangian was convicted on charges including insulting sacred beliefs, insulting the founder and leader of the Islamic Republic, propaganda against the regime, inciting people to riot, and forming illegal groups. He was sentenced to a total of 21 years in prison, 2 years of travel bans, and his Instagram page was blocked.
