A court in Iran issued the sentence today, according to her lawyer, Mostafa Nili, who told AFP that Mohammadi was convicted of “assembly and conspiracy to commit crimes”. The court also banned her from traveling for two years.

Mohammadi is one of the most prominent defenders of human rights in Iran and has previously been arrested and imprisoned multiple times for her activism. The new sentence has sparked widespread criticism in international human rights circles.
