Man Serving Seven Years in an Iranian Prison For His Facebook Posts Slapped With An Additional Three
Prisoner of conscience Soheil Arabi has been sentenced to three more years behind bars—increasing his total term to 10 years—for engaging in peaceful activism inside the Great Tehran Penitentiary (GTP) where he is being held.
Prison guards also physically assaulted Arabi, who is in the prison for the content of his Facebook posts, his mother told the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI).
“Last night [September 30, 2018], I received a message from my son’s lawyer saying that he has been condemned to three more years in prison and after that he will be exiled to Borazjan [Bushehr Province] and he has to pay a four million tomans ($950 USD) fine,†Arabi’s mother, Farangis Mazloom, told CHRI.
