Human Rights House of IRAN

Mehdi Yarmohammadi, a member of Mousavi’s Campaign, who had been sentenced to 18 months in prison for anti-regime propaganda and insulting the Supreme Leader, has been sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment in a second case.

His trial was held in November and Judge Moghayeseh convicted him of participating in the Tehran gatherings, illegally leaving the country, applying for asylum in Turkey and collaborating with foreign media.

He has received a one year sentence for acting against national security by his participation in the gatherings, one year for seeking asylum after his first verdict was issued and one year in prison for collaborating with foreign media.

Previously, he had been sentenced to 18 months in prison in another case for insulting the Supreme Leader and anti-regime propaganda.
