The Gilan Court of Appeals upheld the initial sentence against civil rights activist Peyman Sokooti.
The Rasht Revolutionary Court had previously found Sokooti guilty on multiple charges, including “propaganda against the regime,” “assembly and collusion against national security,” and “membership in anti-regime groups,” leading to the lengthy sentence.
As per Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, he is expected to serve three years and six months of the imposed sentence.
Sokooti’s legal ordeal began on May 23, 2022, when security forces arrested him. Following his arrest, he was held in an IRGC detention facility for ten days before being transferred to Lakan Prison in Rasht.
