Borhan Divangar, Mohsen Hakimi and Mohamad Abdipoor have been sentenced!
The Revolutionary Court of the Islamic Republic of Iran has announced the sentences passed on the remaining 3 workers who were arrested following the 2004 May Day commemorations in the city of Saqez. All three, Borhan Divangar, Mohsen Hakimi and Mohamad Abdipoor, were sentenced to two years imprisonment by the regime's courts.
As we had announced earlier, on 9 November 2005, Mahmood Salehi was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment and 3 years exile, and Jalal Hosseini to two years imprisonment.
The court in Saqez passed the above sentences for the "crime" of organising independent May Day commemorations in 2004. Moreover, the case of Borhan Divangar, the Chair of the National Organisation of Unemployed, is still open for the crimes of workers' activities and defence of the rights of children.
