Iran’s regime sentences an activist for six years of prison
Today, Saturday, the Iranian judicial authorities sentenced activist Narges Mansouri to 6 years in prison. She is one of those who signed months ago a statement demanding the resignation of Khamenei and the preparation of a democratic constitution for Iran.
The Iranian court also approved, according to Iran International Network, the denial of her political and social activity, after Mansouri signed with 14 Iranian activists a joint statement, on the sixth of August last year, demanding the removal of the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and the preparation of a new constitution for the country.
They considered that "four decades of this theocracy (the rule of Wilayat al-Faqih) eliminated the rights of half of the country's population (i.e., women), and therefore the peaceful civil movement must expand to get rid of this anti-women system."
the women activists, through the statement they published on the Telegram channel created for this purpose at the time, called for "a complete transition to a democratic system and writing a new constitution that provides for equal rights and respect for the identity and dignity of women."
The demands came a few days before the arrest of a number of his signatories, as Iranian human rights organizations stated that the security forces arrested 3 of the 14 activists, and reports stressed at the time that Fatima Sepehri, Huriya Farajzada, and Narges Mansouri, were arrested and transferred to unknown places by the security forces.
