His new defense attorney Ms. Paraakandeh found numerous technical issues with the case and compelled the court to reduce the bail; however, she was met with the judge's refusal. After 19 months, the high tribunal of the regime has agreed to reestablish this student activist’s hearing though Peeran is still detained in ward 350 of Evin Prison. The next sessions have been slated for a future date.
