Fourteen protestors have been jailed in Iran for up to 15 years for the death of a Basij agent in a trial branded a travesty of justice by human rights activists, APA reports citing Iran International.
Ruhollah Ajamian was killed in Karaj, near Tehran, in November by a group of men.
The Islamic Republic has already executed Mohammad Mehdi Karami and Mohammad Hossein over Ajamian’s death.
On Tuesday in Alborz, 14 protesters were jailed in connection with the killing, with five of them receiving long-term prison terms of 10 and 15 years.
The two executions came after a hasty trial and without their right to choose a lawyer.
Jurists and human rights activists have described the trials as “unfair” and questioned the verdicts.
