Iran International reports that Omid Haji-Mohammadi, a 22-year-old brokerage employee, was sentenced by the Revolutionary Court in Qazvin to five years in prison following his arrest during the January protests. He was reportedly held in solitary confinement for 20 days and spent about 80 days in Chubindar prison without legal representation. The court also imposed a two-year ban on social media use and foreign travel.
The report from Iran International adds to a pattern of judicial crackdowns against participants in the January protests. As The Zioneer has previously reported, other individuals have been sentenced under similar charges, including a lawyer sentenced to 10 years and a human rights activist to 18 years. The single-source report remains unconfirmed by other outlets.
