Ebrahim Khishkar, a Kurdish individual from Sarvabad and resident of Marivan, has been sentenced by the Iranian judiciary to a total of 18 months in prison.

According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Ebrahim Khishkar, from the village of Dal in the Sarvabad region, was sentenced by the Revolutionary Court of Marivan to one year of suspended imprisonment and six months of definite imprisonment on charges of “collaborating with a Kurdish opposition party.”

An informed source reported that this sentence was announced in recent days following his summons to the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Marivan. Khishkar has 20 days to appeal the ruling.

It is noteworthy that Ebrahim Khishkar was arrested by intelligence forces on Thursday, May 23, 2024, in one of the streets of Marivan.

After approximately one month in detention, Khishkar was temporarily released in early July 2024 on bail, pending the completion of legal proceedings.
