The 36th branch of the Court of Review sentenced Ayub Porkar, a pilot in the Iran-Iraq war to 12 years of prison and political prisoner Reza Khademi to 20 years of prison.
Nasrin Sutodeh, their lawyer said, "Despite the fact that the sentence have still not been announced, these prison terms were announced to their families when they went to the court of review".
Before this, Sutodeh had told the media that the basis of such sentences was his client's phone conversations and the contents of his personal emails. According to her, the five page bill of indictment issued for his client concentrated on his beliefs and not his crimes.
These men were initially sentenced to death by the 15th and 26th branches of the Revolutionary Court.
