Iranwire – An Iranian court has sentenced Ali Ramezani, a member of Iran’s Microelectronics Olympiad national team and an international Olympiad medalist, to three years and seven months in prison over his involvement in the 2022-23 nationwide protests.
Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court handed down the sentence against Ramezani after convicting him of charges of “propaganda activities against the Islamic Republic” and “assembly and collusion against national and foreign security.”
Ramezani was arrested on October 16, 2023, during an overnight raid on his home by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence.
Over 2,500 students were expelled from universities, suspended from their studies and imprisoned following protests at Iranian universities.
Two other International Olympiad medalists, Ali Younesi and Amir Hossein Moradi, were sentenced to 16 years in prison after participating in demonstrations.
