November 11, 2026; "Behrouz Saeedi," a 35-year-old Kurdish youth from Takab who was arbitrarily arrested in recent months and subsequently temporarily released on bail, was sentenced by the Revolutionary Court of Takab to 5 years, 6 months, and one day of discretionary imprisonment (Habs-e Ta'ziri) on charges of "propaganda against the system" through "cooperation with hostile states."

An informed source confirmed this news to Kurdpa, stating that "Behrouz Saeedi," son of Ahmad, received the verdict issued by one of the branches of the Revolutionary Court of Takab on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Under this ruling, he was sentenced to 5 years, 6 months, and one day of discretionary imprisonment on charges of "propaganda against the system" through "cooperation with hostile states."

Behrouz Saeedi, who is a tattoo artist and boutique owner, was arrested in late spring 2026 by security forces without the presentation of a judicial warrant and spent over 20 days in arbitrary detention at the Takab Intelligence Department. He was ultimately released temporarily upon posting bail. During his detention, Saeedi was deprived of the right to access legal counsel, family visits, and phone contact with his family.

The arrest of "Behrouz Saeedi" had not been previously reported in the media, and news of his arrest and conviction is being published for the first time.

According to Kurdpa's informed source, security agencies confiscated his mobile phone during the arbitrary arrest conducted without a legal warrant, and this sentence was issued solely based on a few text conversations and his personal comments.
