Meanwhile, the regime’s courts in the city of Arak, central Iran, issued a total of six years behind bars and 444 lashes for six protesters arrested during the December/January uprising. These individuals are facing charges such as “disrupting public order and peace by taking part in illegal rallies.”

In yet another case the head of justice in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad province, Mazarei, announced that six defendants affiliated to the PMOI were “sentenced to imprisonment and exile from 8 to 18 years” on the charge of writing slogans, blasphemy (against supreme leader) and burning “propaganda banners with the images of national and religious figures,” the state-run ISNA News Agency reported on October 17, 2018.
“the enemies of the state … used to take photos and videos of the sabotage acts and send them to their leaders after committing the crime,” Mazarei said.

It is worth noting that Iranian authorities arrested over 8,000 protesters in different cities during those protests. At least 14 of these individuals were murdered under torture and the Iranian authorities claimed some of them committed suicide.
