🔻 The five-year prison sentence of a dual citizen was finalized

The five-year prison sentence of Saeed Azizi, a dual citizen, which was previously issued by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, was confirmed by the decision of Branch 36 of the Court of Appeal of Tehran Province.

Reza Shafakhah, Saeed Azizi’s lawyer, says that his client is an innocent citizen and, according to the court of appeals, he has no hope of changing his sentence and court case in the new year.

Earlier, this lawyer warned that 60-year-old Saeed Azizi was diagnosed with prostate cancer and fell down the stairs in prison, and now his physical condition has worsened.

Earlier, Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court had sentenced Saeed Azizi to five years in prison on the charge of ”assembly and collusion to commit a crime”.

This Iranian-Swedish citizen traveled to Iran on the 21st of November this year and was arrested by the intelligence agencies of the Islamic Republic at his home in Tehran.
