The information desk at the public and Revolutionary courts in Tehran announced that the Revolutionary Court issued a sentencing order for nine people accused of unrest during the Ashura religious holiday. One of the convicts has been sentenced to death and eight others were sentenced to jail terms.
The charges made against the accused included Moharebeh (waging war), spreading propaganda against the regime, gathering and collusion against national security. The sentencing can be appealed by the accused in the provincial appeals court if they choose to do so, and once the sentencing is confirmed it can be enforced.
