Farshad Ahmadi, a Kurdish musician from Dehloran who had been previously sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment and 5 years of suspended prison by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran, was arrested and transferred to Evin prison to serve the prison sentence.

According to the report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on January 16, 2023, Farshad Ahmadi, a resident of Dehloran, was transferred to Tehran's Evin prison following his arrest by the execution court.
