According to human rights organizations, the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office of Osku in East Azerbaijan province has accused the lawyer of "inciting and instructing people to commit violent acts" and has issued an arrest order against him.

According to the reported decision, posts published on Mohammad Tariqat Esfanjani's personal social media accounts, as well as a report prepared by the Security Department of the East Azerbaijan Judiciary, were cited as evidence.

It should be noted that a few days earlier, the Revolutionary Court of Osku sentenced the Azerbaijani lawyer to three years in prison on charges of "anti-government propaganda on social media" and "insulting the country's leader and Khomeini."
