Eight Political and Civil Activists from Andimeshk Sentenced to Imprisonment and Exile

The Revolutionary Court of Dezful has sentenced two women's rights activists and six civil and political activists to imprisonment and exile on charges of 'propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran.' An informed source told Radio Farda that these eight individuals were previously arrested in September 2015 in connection with the activities of 'Mother Bookstore' in Andimeshk, but were released after several months in prison on bail. The court session for these activists was held on May 13, presided over by Mr. Mousavi, and their verdict was announced on Wednesday, May 24. According to the report, Ali Mohammad Jahangiri, a civil activist with a history of imprisonment during the 1980s, has been sentenced to four years in prison in Yazd. Shapur Roshno, a national-religious activist, has been sentenced to one year in prison in Shiraz, and Ezzatollah Jafari, another civil activist, has also received a one-year sentence in Kerman. Other individuals involved in this case, Ashraf Rahimkhani and Zeinab Keshvari, women's rights activists and managers of Mother Bookstore, have been sentenced to one year in prison and three months of convertible imprisonment to a fine, respectively. According to this report, Ali Nejati, a board member of the Haft Tappeh Sugarcane Workers' Syndicate, has also been sentenced to six months in prison. Reports indicate that the ruling is preliminary, and these activists can appeal it. In this context, the raid by security forces on Shapur Roshno's home led to 'his wife's miscarriage.' Human rights defenders have called on Rouhani to oversee intelligence agencies. Concerns have been expressed by human rights defenders regarding the physical condition of Atena Daemi and Ismail Abdi. The spokesperson for the Baha'i community stated that the violation of Baha'i rights has increased under Rouhani's government.
