Three citizens from Takab, who were arrested last year, have been sentenced to prison by the Iranian judiciary.
The Human Rights Organization Hengawm reported on Friday, June 7, that in recent days, Branch One of the Urmia Revolutionary Court has sentenced three citizens from Takab County to a total of 11 years and 6 months in prison on charges of "collaborating with one of the Kurdish opposition parties of the Iranian government."
According to this report, "Behzad Baradaran" was sentenced to eight years, "Saman Sabzi" to three years and "Shamal Mazrouei" to six months.
In February of last year, Amnesty International called 2018 the "year of shame" for the Islamic Republic, announcing that more than seven thousand people, including participants in demonstrations, students, journalists, women's rights activists, environmental activists, labor activists, and ethnic and religious minority rights activists, had been arrested in Iran this year.
