Iran: Ahvaz court jails Snapp driver 8 years over Instagram posts

An Iranian court in Ahvaz sentenced Pejman Yousefi, a 39-year-old Snapp driver with an autoimmune disease, to eight years in prison for content posted on Instagram Stories. The case highlights the Iranian judiciary's continued crackdown on social media expression, with the driver reportedly already serving time in Sheiban prison. The specific charges and evidence remain unclear, but the sentence reflects the regime's tightening control over online dissent.
