          HRANA - The sentence issued for 50 Baha'is from Shiraz has been modified to include a travel
          ban.
          The individuals, mostly young adults, were arrested in Shiraz on May 19, 2006, for tutoring
          underprivileged children. They were subsequently sentenced to three years in prison, but their
          sentences were suspended conditional upon their regular participation in Islamic events and
          studies.
          However, as their three year sentences drew to a close, the terms of their sentences were
          modified to include a travel . According to the Prosecutor of Shiraz, if a defendant wants to exist
          the country, he or she must post a bail amount of 50 Million Tomans (-US $50,000) prior to
          his/her exit. The ban is valid for 6 months and may be renewed if deemed necessary.
