Imprisoned Telegram Activist faces 15 moths more in prison

IranHRM – Telegram activist Farrokh Abdi was sentenced by Branch 102 of the Criminal Court of Urmia to 15 months behind bars  for “insulting sanctities.”

Abdi previously received a three-year sentence from Branch 2, which was reduced to fifteen months in an appeals court, for “collaboration with anti-regime groups”.

Farrokh Abdi is currently detained in the general Ward 3-4 of Urmia Prison. In a punitive measure disproportional to the severity of his conviction, the source added, officials have forestalled his transfer to the prison’s political ward.
