Majid Beiranvand and Ehsan Moayedi Kia, two journalists from Lorestan, have been sentenced to one year of discretionary imprisonment and one year of forced residence in Marvast, Yazd Province, following their criticism of the provincial governor.

According to available information, this verdict was issued following the publication of a campaign registered on the official "Karzar" platform on the "Sedaye Lorestan" Telegram channel. Reza Sepahvand, the representative of this city [in Parliament], has also protested the ruling.

Beiranvand is the license holder and managing editor of the local weekly "Horu" and manages the "Sedaye Lorestan" media pages on Telegram and Instagram, which have over 40,000 followers. Prior to this verdict, these two journalists had no criminal record.

According to Article 24 of the Constitution, publications and the press are free to express matters, unless they are detrimental to the fundamental principles of Islam or public rights. The complaint against journalists by the Governor of Lorestan contradicts the President's slogans and restricts media professionals.
