2-Year Sentence Approved for Sorush Sabet

HRA
A two-year jail sentence for Sorush Sabet has been approved by Court no. 36 of the Enghelab Court System, chaired by Judge Zargar. Sorush Sabet is a “starred” student and a leftist activist. He studied computer science in Sharif University of Technology. In the wake of widespread arrests of freedom- and equality-seeking students in 2007, Sorush Sabet was arrested and was kept in detention for 45 days. This November, his verdict was handed over to him by Judge Maghiseh. Despite his attaining the 1st rank in the Graduate National Entrance Exams, Sorush Sabet had been “starred”, which led to him being banned from continuing his education. His other acclaims consist of a bronze medal in the Computer Olympiad, second prize in the Kharazmi Awards, and membership in the National Elite Foundation.
