Iran: A cyberspace activist was sentenced to 4 years in prison and 74 lashes in the Alborz district.
The head of the judicial system in Alborz province said that the final verdict was carried out on charges of spreading lies, impersonating a judicial official, threats and insults. The man obtained billions of dollars from contractors by publishing false claims against city and county officials, pressuring them to intervene in cases and tenders. He also collected secret documents of municipal employees and claimed links to judicial officials, the Assembly of Experts and the home of the martyred leader of the revolution.
