Badaghi is a poet and online writer. In 2019, a case was opened against him for “propaganda” based on Instagram posts. In October 2023, he was summoned to serve a new prison sentence for “propaganda” for his online commentary. He is currently in prison as of February 2024. Known for his dissident writings since 2011, Badaghi was summoned just days after posting online about fears for his safety. His poetry and posts frequently critique Iranian authorities and have drawn the attention of both national and international rights groups.
