A new episode in the series of Iranian repression was represented by the regime’s attacks on activists who signed a statement calling on the Iranian leader, Ali Khamenei, to resign due to the deterioration of the situation in the country.
According to the Iranian website “Radio Farda”, which broadcasts from the Czech capital Prague, the authorities have summoned two other activists from the sites to serve a prison sentence handed down against them and to join other activists who were convicted. for signing the petition.
Previously, the campaign to defend political and civil prisoners in Iran indicated that Shahla Jahanban and Shahla Nasiri were sentenced to four years and two months in prison, while they were prohibited from exercising political work or joining political and social parties and groups. for two years.
Imprisonment of two activists calling on Khamenei to resign
The report indicated that the sentence handed down against the two activists was reduced to 44 months in prison for being mothers and for not having a criminal record, but was again reduced to 33 months due to the decision of the two defendants to refrain from contesting the verdict.
A report by the Human Rights Activists news agency indicated that Jahanbin and Intisari were summoned to Evin prison last November and released on US $ 119,000 bail.
In June 2019, 14 civil activists within Iran released a statement calling for Ali Khamenei’s resignation. Following the publication of the document by the activists, 14 civil and political activists issued a similar statement calling on Khamenei to resign.
The statement issued on August 5 said that “four decades of theocratic regime have eliminated the rights of half of the country’s population,” calling for civil measures to be taken to abandon “this anti-women regime” and draft a new constitution to Iran.
The 14 women activists reside in Iran, which puts them in danger, according to “Al-Ain News.”
