The Sari Revolutionary Court sentenced former political prisoner Mojgan Kavousi to five years and five months in prison. Kavousi was arrested over recent protests.
According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, Mojgan Kavousi was sentenced to 39 months for “assembly and collusion,” 18 months for “insulting the Supreme Leader of Iran,” and 8 months for “propaganda against the regime.” She was acquitted of the charge of “spreading corruption on earth.”
If the verdict is upheld on appeal, applying article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, 39 months for “assembly and collusion” as the severest punishment will be enforceable.
On September 22, 2022, security forces arrested Kavousi at her home in Noshahr and transferred her to Tonekabon Prison on October 27 after completing interrogation. On December 16, 2022, she was relocated to Qaem Shahr Prison.
Kavousi faced other arrests and convictions on prior occasions.
