Extra Bio Info:

Seyed Fariborz Shah-Ebrahimi was detained for their religious activity.

On November 18, 2022, authorities in Sahneh county, Kermanshah province, arrested at least 30 Yarsanis, including Shah-Ebrahimi, as they were commemorating the death of Yarsani religious figure Khalil Alinejhad, who was killed in 2001.

On an unspecified date, Shah-Ebrahimi was reportedly released on bail.

On May 23, 2023, authorities arrested Shah-Ebrahimi from his home and allegedly beat him.

In July 2023, it was reported that the government had suspended prosecution against dozens of Yarsanis detained alongside Shah-Ebrahimi in November 2022. Shah-Ebrahimi is likely to have been released prior to or around the time of this decision.
