WOMAN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST'S
THREE YEAR PRISON
SENTENCE TO BE IMPLEMENTED
Alieh Eghdam
Doust To Serve
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
