Iran hands death sentences to four more January protesters - HRANA

A court in Iran has sentenced four people to death on charges of cooperating with the United States and “hostile groups," according to the human rights monitor HRANA.

The defendants—Mohammadreza Majidi-Asl, Bita Hemmati, Behrouz Zamaninejad and Kourosh Zamaninejad—were arrested during the widespread protests in early January and have been convicted of “operational action for the hostile government of the United States and hostile groups.”

The court also sentenced each of them to five years in prison on the charge of “assembly and collusion against national security” as well as confiscation of all their assets as a supplementary punishment, according to the report.
