Alan Mohammadi, a young Kolbar from Marivan who was severely injured last year by border guard gunfire at the “Anjiran” border, has been transferred to Marivan prison to serve his prison sentence.
According to Kolbarnews, on Monday, May 12, 2025, Alan Mohammadi was transferred to Marivan prison to serve a five-year discretionary prison sentence. The Marivan court had sentenced this young Kolbar in April 2025 to five years in prison and a monetary fine of six billion tomans.
On the evening of Wednesday, March 13, 2024, Alan Mohammadi was shot at the “Anjiran” border near Marivan despite not carrying any load at the time.
He was severely wounded in the lower back, and the injuries were so critical that his kidneys were seriously damaged. That same night, he was transferred by air ambulance to in Sanandaj and underwent surgery. After being discharged from the hospital, he was temporarily released on bail set at eight billion tomans.
According to informed sources, Alan Mohammadi still suffers from the effects of his injuries and requires dialysis twice a month along with several physiotherapy sessions. Despite his deteriorating physical condition, the heavy prison sentence has been enforced.
The execution of this sentence has sparked widespread reactions on social media and among civil activists, with many calling it an example of intensified pressure on Kolbars and the judiciary’s disregard for the humanitarian condition of prisoners.
