Iranwire – Iranian political activist Majid Tawakoli says he has been sentenced to a total of six years in prison on charges of “gathering and collusion against the security of the country” and “propaganda activity against the system.”
Branch 28 of Tehran Revolutionary Court also banned Tawakoli from using social media and from traveling for a period of two years.
Tawakoli, who had been imprisoned in the past, said the latest case against him stemmed from his writings.
The Norway-based Iran Human Rights group has raised concerns about the practice by Iranian authorities of using “preventive detention” against civil activists such as Tawakoli.
