Mahboubeh Ramezani and Rahimeh Yousefzadeh, mothers of Pejman Gholipour and Navid Behboodi, who were killed during the November 2019 protests, have each been sentenced to 18 months and one day in prison by Branch 2 of the Shahriar Revolutionary Court.

According to their lawyer, Reza Shafakhah, the court sentenced both women to six months for “propaganda against the regime,” six months for “membership in the Mothers of November 2019 Victims group,” and six months and one day for “insulting the Supreme Leader.”

Both Ramezani and Yousefzadeh have previously been arrested and sentenced due to their activism.

The November 2019 protests, sparked by a sharp rise in fuel prices, erupted on November 15, 2019, and quickly spread across dozens of cities in Iran. The protests, which lasted several days, saw participation in 719 locations, according to Mohammad Javad Kolivand, an MP from Karaj. Seyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, spokesperson for the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission at the time, reported around 7,000 arrests. Human rights organizations estimate that hundreds were killed in the violent crackdown that followed.
