          Three Year Prison Term
          Sunday 1 February 2009
          Change for Equality: Alieh Eghdamdoust who
          had been sentenced to three years of
          mandatory prison as a result of her
          participation in the June 12, 2006 protest in
          Hafte Tir Square was transferred today under
          guard supervision to the Office of
          Implementation of Sentences at the
          Revolutionary Courts. Alieh Eghdamdoust, a
          woman's rights defender, was arrested during
          the protest objecting to discriminatory laws
          against women in Hafte Tir Square in June 12
          2006, and spent a week in prison. She was
          sentenced by the 15th security branch of the
          Revolutionary Courts to three years and four
          months mandatory prison sentence and 20
          lashes. The appeals courts upheld three years
          of the mandatory prison sentence, reducing
          her original sentence by four months and 20
          lashes.
          According to Nasim Ghanavi one of the
          lawyers in this case, Eghdamdoust contacted
          her by telephone to inform her that agents
          had come to her home in Fouman city
          (Northern Iran) to transfer her to the
          Revolutionary Courts, office of
          Implementation of Sentences, so that she
          could begin serving her three year prison
          term. Ghanavi visited with her client
          Eghdamdoust in the Revolutionary Court

          According to Ghanavi, the only option left for
          Eghdamdoust is to request a judicial review
          which is allowable through amendment 18 of
          the Law Regulating Public and Revolutionary
          Courts.
