Kurdistan Human Rights Network has learned that Goran Ghorbani, a civil Activist and a member of the Green Green Chia Association of Marivan, was transferred to Marivan Prison to endure his five months imprisonment sentence.

He was arrested on July 14 after being summoned to the Marivan Intelligence Office and he was released on bail after several months of interrogation. In November last year, he was sentenced to one year in prison by the Marivan Revolutionary Court on charges of “propaganda against the state”. He contested the verdict and his case was referred to the Sanandaj Court of Appeal.

Goran Ghorbani trial was held in Sanandaj Court of Appeal without his presence in January this year, and his sentence was reduced from one year to five months in prison.
