Iranian father of protest victim gets 10 more years in prison

Manouchehr Bakhtiari, whose son Pouya was killed in Iran's November 2019 protests, has been sentenced to an additional 10 years in prison, extending his total sentence. This follows a pattern of judicial retaliation against families of protest victims, signaling continued state repression. The development underscores the regime's ongoing crackdown on dissent and may fuel further domestic and international criticism.
