Seyed Javad Mousavi, one of those arrested during the January protests, was arrested after being summoned to the Enforcement of Judgments Branch of the Birjand Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office and transferred to the city’s prison to serve a five-year prison sentence.
According to Kolbarnews, on Saturday, August 15, 2026, Seyed Javad Mousavi was arrested after appearing before Branch Two of the Enforcement of Judgments of the Birjand Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office and was transferred to Birjand Prison to serve his prison sentence. The citizen had previously been sentenced by the Revolutionary Court to one year in prison on charges of “propaganda against the regime,” two years in prison on charges of “insulting Khomeini,” and five years in prison on charges of “assembly and collusion to commit a crime against national security.” The total sentences issued against him were reported to amount to eight years in prison; however, following the application of the law on consolidation of sentences, the most severe punishment, namely five years in prison, will be enforceable.
Seyed Javad Mousavi was arrested by government forces in Birjand during last year’s January protests, on January 6, 2026. He was later released from prison after securing a bail arrangement.
Now, following his summons to the Enforcement of Judgments Branch, this citizen has once again been arrested to serve his five-year prison sentence and transferred to Birjand Prison.
