伊朗学者Mahdieh Esfandiari(39岁)于2026年2月26日因支持哈马斯2023年10月7日攻击以色列的社交媒体文章为恐怖主义辩护, 被法国法院判处一年徒刑。 Iranian academic Mahdieh Esfandiari, 39, was sentenced to one year in prison by a French court on February 26, 2026, for justifying terrorism through social media posts supporting Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. 法院判处四年徒刑,三年缓期执行,并永久禁止她进入法国。 The court imposed a four-year sentence with three years suspended and banned her permanently from France. Esfandiari在审前拘留中度过了8个月,现在面临上诉。 Esfandiari, who had spent eight months in pretrial detention, faces an appeal. 该案引起国际注意,因为推测她可能参与了可能涉及两名法国国民的交换囚犯活动,两名法国国民被关押在伊朗,其家属否认有关间谍罪的指控。 The case has drawn international attention due to speculation she may be part of a potential prisoner exchange involving two French nationals held in Iran, whose families deny espionage charges. 伊朗已表示有兴趣进行这种交换,但法国尚未确认任何交易。 Iran has indicated interest in such a swap, though France has not confirmed any deal.
