Rewritten Title: Judicial Review Overturns Actor Peyman Jamshidi’s Detention Order
Article:
A Tehran appeals court has nullified the temporary detention order for prominent Iranian actor Peyman Jamshidi, directing a lower court to issue a more proportionate judicial decree. The announcement was made by Ali Alghasi, the head of the Tehran Province Justice Department, bringing a new development to a case that has captured significant public attention.
The Allegations and Initial Arrest
The case originated from a private complaint filed by a woman who accused a famous cinema actor of sexual assault. Following her complaint and subsequent specialized and scientific investigations, the judicial authority summoned, formally charged, and detained the individual. While initial reports carefully avoided naming the actor in adherence to professional ethics during preliminary investigations, the identity of Peyman Jamshidi subsequently became widely known in media circles.
According to the private plaintiff’s initial testimony, she alleged that the actor, whom she met in a professional context, offered to help her career. She claimed that under the pretense of giving her a ride, he diverted from the route, forcibly took her to his private residence, and assaulted her.
Judicial Process and Recent Development
Following the filing of the complaint months ago, the plaintiff was transferred to the Legal Medicine Organization for examinations as per a judicial order. The accused was also summoned in the initial days after the complaint. At that time, a bail of 5 billion tomans was set for him regarding the assault charge.
The recent detention order was issued on October 19, leading to the actor being sent to Qezelhesar prison. This move created a significant public reaction. However, the latest ruling from the appeals court has now overturned that specific detention warrant, mandating a review. This judicial review underscores the commitment of the Iranian legal system to ensure that all pre-trial measures are proportionate and strictly adhere to legal procedures. The case continues its course through the established judicial framework.
