Mahdi Yarahee, the famous Ahvazi singer who faced legal charges due to his artistic activities, was released after serving a one-year sentence under electronic monitoring.
Zahra Minoui, Yarahee’s lawyer, announced on Saturday, January 8, that the one-year sentence of her client, which had been converted into electronic bracelet monitoring, has ended.
Ms. Minoui mentioned in a post on the platform “X” that despite the completion of this sentence, the punishment of 74 lashes still remains, and the 15 billion toman bail release is conditional upon the execution of this punishment.
