The Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced Sepideh Ahmadkhani, a student at Shahid Beheshti University, to six years in prison, 74 lashes and additional punishment.

According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, quoting the Iranian Students Union, Sepideh Ahmadkhani was sentenced to five years for “assembly and collusion against national security,” one year and 74 lashes for “disturbing public order.”

As additional punishment, Ahmadkhani is banned from leaving the country and from membership in civil and political groups for two years. As Social Work Penalty, she must work for free in a nursing home for three months. Moreover, as an attempt to indoctrinate her, she also has to conduct research about patriotism.

If the verdict is upheld on appeal, five years for the first count will be enforceable to her.

On September 23, 2022, Ahmadkhani was arrested at protests and, after a while, released on a 600-million-toman bail until the end of legal proceedings.
