HRANA, the Human Rights Activists News Agency- Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court recently sentenced workers’ rights activist Anisha Asadollahi to five years and eight months, with five years to be enforced.

Iman Afshari, the judge presiding over the case, sentenced Asadollahi to five years for “assembly and collusion against national security” and eight months for “propaganda against the regime.”
If the verdict is upheld on appeal, as per Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, five years in prison will be enforceable for the first count.

Asadollahi was arrested, along with several other civil and worker’s rights activists, at Mohammad Habibi’s home just days before International Workers’ Day on April 28, 2023. She was released on a one-billion-Toman bail ten days later.

Asadollahi had other arrests and convictions for her activism in the past.
