The Mashhad Revolutionary Court sentenced Amir Sheibani Zaveh, arrested during nationwide protests, to eight years and six months imprisonment.

According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, protestor Amir Sheibani Zaveh was sentenced to imprisonment.

Sheibani received four years and six months for “assembly and collusion against the regime,” three years for “membership in anti-regime groups,” and one year for “propaganda against the regime.”

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

According to Sheibani, “publishing the calls for protests, the pictures of Mahsa Amini and Nika Shakarmi’s burial place on social media, and attending one of the killed protestors’ funeral in Mashhad” was presented in the court as pieces of evidence for the charges.

Since the beginning of nationwide protests, about 19570 people, including journalists, artists, lawyers, teachers, students and civil rights activists, have been arrested. So far, over protests, about 737 people have been sentenced to a total of about 12330 months imprisonment.
