Hiwa Amini and Bahman Feyzi, two civil activists from the city of Saqqez, have been sentenced by the Islamic Republic’s judiciary to a total of ten months in prison and a fine of 20 million tomans.
According to Kolbarnews, the Saqqez Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Mojtaba Jabari, sentenced both Hiws Amini and Bahman Feyzi to five months in prison each on charges of “propaganda against the Islamic Republic.” The prison sentences have been suspended for two years.
