"Ismail Nazari," Samaneh Asghari's husband, published an article regarding his wife's transfer to prison and wrote: "My wife's one-year prison sentence was enforced on April 5th, after she went to the Rey City Prosecutor's Office and was transferred to Evin Prison."
The charges against him, which Judge Salavati convicted him of, include “disturbing public order and peace,” “inciting or inciting people to fight and kill each other,” “propaganda against the system,” “presence of women in public places and public places without the Islamic veil,” “membership in a group or crowd with the aim of disrupting the security of the country,” and “spreading lies.” It should be noted that he was also denied access to a lawyer.
