According to this verdict, Hirad Pirdaghi was sentenced to six months imprisonment on the charge of “assembly and collusion”. Roham Yeganeh and Farid Lotfabadi were sentenced to six months imprisonment and 74 lashes which are suspended for four years.

The day after their arrest, they were transferred to ward 209 of Evin Prison. Their trial was on February 9, 2020. They were released on bail on August 27, 2019.
