Hossein Shanbehzadeh's arrest comes in a context of rising insecurity among the Iranian leadership. Their fear of dissent is evident as many voices, including activists and artists, are targeted for suppression.
Shanbehzadeh received a 12-year prison sentence simply for posting a single dot on social media, which garnered more likes than the Supreme Leader's original tweet, signaling public discontent.
In recent months, the Iranian government has intensified its crackdown on dissent, with activists like Shanbehzadeh facing harsh penalties while the regime seeks to stifle public opposition.
This troubling development follows the sentencing of other artists and activists, illustrating a broader pattern of persecution against anyone deemed critical of or a threat to the Islamic Republic.
