Although the court hearing lasted until the end of office hours, his case is still pending. One of his charges is "returning to Iran to carry out an armed operation."

  • <coverage-outsourcing id='35823'> <reference source='https://bit.ly/3y6hEHG'> Mohammad Moradi was sentenced to 40 years in exile in Urmia Central Prison on charges of Baghi “armed rebellion against the state.” through membership in a Kurdish opposition party." This sentence was issued by the First Branch of the Revolutionary Court of Mahabad, headed by Judge Javad Gholami. Imprisonment in exile is fundamentally against the Islamic Penal Code, but some courts issue this verdict on the charge of Moharebeh. One of the punishments of Moharebeh's “Enmity against God” is a denial of land or deportation to another place (outside prison). Given that the record of political cases shows that imprisonment in exile is issued solely on the charge of Moharebeh, it is likely that Mr. Moradi is also charged with Moharebeh. </reference> </coverage-outsourcing>
