Politic activities

Bahavar was arrested following the post-election protests in 2009, and released after five years of imprisonment. He went on hunger strike in 2011, along with eleven other political prisoners.

Bahavar registered to run for a City Council of Tehran seat in 2017 elections, however he was disqualified by the authorities.

Defense in court

In part of this defense, it is stated: "Experts insisted that I admit to attending the Ashura 88 protests and give two TV interviews. Since I was not present at the gatherings on the day of Ashura and other days, I refused to make a false confession. will form against me. It was like this that after months of temporary detention and after a long time had passed since my last interrogation, they redefined the new charge (propaganda against the regime) by referring to the materials and writings attributed to me."
