October 30, 2026; "Noureddin Chelengar," a 30-year-old Kurdish youth from Sarableh in Chardavol County, Ilam Province—who had spent over a month in arbitrary detention during the December 2025/January 2026 protests—was sentenced in recent days to one year and three months of discretionary sentenced imprisonment and a fine of 30 million Tomans.

According to an informed source speaking to Kurdpa, in late October 2026, Branch 101 of Criminal Court Two of Chardavol County, presided over by Judge "Mohammad Sarbaz Jamshid," sentenced this Kurdish citizen to one year of discretionary imprisonment on charges of "insulting sanctities." Additionally, under minimum sentencing guidelines and through alternative sentencing provisions, he was sentenced to three months of discretionary imprisonment and a fine of 30 million Tomans on charges of "acting against national security."

According to the source, the court hearing for Noureddin Chelengar's case was held during a brief session at the aforementioned branch on September 15, 2026, during which he was deprived of the right to legal representation. In recent days, after receiving the verdict notification, this citizen filed an appeal against the sentence and is currently awaiting a decision on his appeal.

Noureddin Chelengar was arrested by security forces without a judicial warrant on January 26, 2026, and transferred to an undisclosed location. He was held for eight days in a security detention center of the Ilam Intelligence Department, where he was subjected to severe physical torture, before being transferred to Ilam Central Prison. Subsequently, after one month and 8 days of arbitrary detention, he was temporarily released on bail upon posting a 4 billion Toman bail.

The source further stated that during his 8 days of detention and interrogation in the security detention facility, "Noureddin" Chelengar was deprived of the right to phone contact, family visits, and access to legal counsel. According to the source, severe physical torture was inflicted upon him during interrogations, and no evidence was presented regarding the charges brought against him. He was likewise deprived of the right to legal counsel throughout judicial proceedings and the court hearing.
