Four family members of Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish political prisoner facing the death penalty in Iran, have been sentenced to prison terms.

Azizi’s father, Aziz Azizi, sister, Prshang Azizi, son-in-law, Hossein Abbasi, and another individual, Ayoub Anisi, have been convicted on charges related to Azizi's case.

The charges against the family members include "assisting a criminal to avoid trial and conviction" and "gathering and collusion to commit a crime against internal security."

Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari, sentenced Aziz Azizi, Parshang Azizi, and Hossein Abbasi to one year in prison each. Ayoub Anisi received a two-year sentence.

Pakhshan Azizi was sentenced to death on charges of "rebellion." She was arrested by security forces in Tehran on August 4, 2023, and transferred to Ward 209 of Evin Prison.
