A court in Iran has sentenced 21-year-old protester Omran Amani to death on a charge of "moharebeh," or "waging war against God," according to information obtained by Iran International.
Amani was sentenced on October 24 by Branch 26 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari.
Amani was arrested on February 11, following Iran's nationwide December-January protests, when Basij and intelligence officers raided his shared home in Tehran and detained him alongside two friends, Alireza Dolati and Mohammad Khalizadeh, a source familiar with the case told Iran International.
The three men worked as motorcycle couriers for SnappBox, an Iranian delivery service, the source said.
According to the source, security personnel severely beat the men during their arrest, and Amani was subsequently held in solitary confinement for two months.
Three members of a teachers' association in southern Iran were sentenced to a combined 12 years and six months in prison on national security charges, human rights news agency HRANA reported Friday.
The sentences were handed to Reza Amanifar, Asghar Hajeb and Roghayeh Torabpour, members of the Bushehr Teachers' Association, according to the Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers' Associations.
Amanifar received 10 years and one day in prison, Hajeb two years and Torabpour six months for allegedly engaging in political, cultural and propaganda activities against national security.
All three were also permanently barred from public and government employment and ordered to surrender their electronic devices.
The teachers' council condemned the verdicts, saying the charges stemmed from legitimate union activities. It also warned that Amanifar, who has been detained since April, suffers from a serious kidney condition and has been denied adequate medical care.
