Iranian blogger sentenced to 12 years in prison

An Iranian blogger has been sentenced to 12 years after a post with a dot on social network X.

Blogger Hossein Shanbehzadeh was arrested after his post on the X network with a dot gained more likes than the post of the head of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

This was reported by Iran International.

The blogger received a sentence on several articles: five years in prison for pro-Israeli propaganda.

Also, four years – for insulting Islamic shrines, two years – for spreading lies about the policy of the authorities and one more – for anti-state propaganda.

The lawyer emphasized that the prosecution did not prove Shanbehzadeh’s guilt under the most serious article.

And only his personal messages were cited as evidence.
