According to information received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Jamali, 47, a father of two from Mahmoudabad, was summoned to Branch 1 of the Criminal Sentences Enforcement Office of the Amol Judiciary on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.

He was transferred to the IRGC Intelligence detention facility in Sari and released on October 8, 2025, after posting bail of one billion tomans.

He had also previously been arrested during the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in 2022.
