The Revolutionary Court in Tehran issued a sentence of 14 months in prison and a fine of 30 million tomans against political activist Zahra Rezaei. 

According to Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, the sentence was issued due to her activities on social media and accusations of "propaganda against the regime," "insulting Khamenei," "failure to observe the hijab," and "disturbing public opinion."

This sentence, issued after Zahra Rezaei's protest, has been sent to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration.

Zahra Rezaei had worked as a journalist until 2018, and about two months ago, she was summoned by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. After investigation, a case was filed against her, and she was temporarily released on bail pending the completion of the legal process.
