Alan Mohammadi, a young Kolbar from Marivan who was severely injured by direct fire from border forces last year, has been sentenced by the Marivan court to five years in prison and a fine of six billion tomans.
According to Kolbarews, on the night of Wednesday, March 13, 2024, Alan Mohammadi was shot in the Anjiran border area of Marivan and suffered serious spinal and kidney injuries. He was immediately airlifted to Kosar Hospital in Sanandaj, where he underwent surgery.
Following his hospital release, he was temporarily freed on eight billion tomans bail, but the recent court ruling imposes a harsh sentence despite his deteriorating health. Sources say that Mohammadi currently requires biweekly dialysis and frequent physiotherapy sessions.
The ruling has sparked criticism among civil activists and social media users, many of whom view the sentence as part of the broader pattern of systematic repression against kolbars.
Alan Mohammadi is now expected to present himself to Marivan Prison to begin serving his sentence.
