The Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced former political prisoner Arash Sadeghi to four years and three months, with three years and seven months being enforceable.

According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, former political prisoner Arash Sadeghi was sentenced to four years and three months in prison.

Sadeghi’s lawyer revealed that in a retrial, Branch 26 of the court sentenced Sadeghi to three years and seven months for assembly and collusion against national security and eight months for propaganda against the regime.

If the verdict is upheld on appeal, based on Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, three years and seven months for the first charge will be enforceable.

Sadeghi had previously been sentenced to five years and eight months in late-January 2023, along with additional punishment for the same court branch. The retrial was held on April 11, 2023, following Sadeghi’s lawyer’s objection.

Amid the 2022 nationwide protests, on October 12, 2022, security forces arrested Sadeghi and took him to Ward 209 of Evin Prison. On January 21, 2023, he was released on bail.

Sadeghi faced other arrests and convictions in the past.
