Mojgan Kavousi, a Kurdish writer and researcher, was arrested after reporting to the Office of the Implementation of Verdicts in Kelardasht on Monday, December 18, 2023. She was transferred to the Prison of Tonekabon to serve 3 years and 3 months in prison.
Security forces arrested Mojgan Kavousi at her home in Nowshahr on September 22, 2022. On January 3, 2023, she was temporarily released on bail from the Prison of Qaemshahr.
In December 2022, the First Branch of the Revolutionary Court of Sari sentenced her to eight months in prison for “propaganda against the state,” 18 months in jail for “insulting the (mullahs’ supreme) leader,” and to 39 months in jail for “assembly and collusion against national security.” That makes five and a half year of prison time.
According to the regime’s punishment law, the maximum sentence, 39 months, would be implemented for Ms. Kavousi, which would amount to 3 years and three months.
Mojgan Kavousi had been previously arrested and imprisoned during the protests in November 2019. She was released in January 2023, after finishing her 20 months in prison.
