A young Iranian couple was given a prison term of more than ten years for just dancing in the street.

Due of their dance in Freedom Square, the blogger couple was charged.

Amir Mohammad Ahmadi and Astiyazh Haghighi received sentences of 10 years and 6 months in prison for “corruption on earth and incitement to prostitution,” respectively.

Haghighi, 21, and Ahmadi, 22, allegedly danced to support ongoing protests in Iran after Mahsa Amini’s passing.

Following the terrible murder of Ms. Amini, 22, who passed away while being held by the police, Iranians are calling for the clerical regime to be overthrown.

Ms. Amini was detained by the police after being accused of wearing unsuitable clothing because her hair was not properly covered, and she eventually passed away.

Women have been demonstrating in the streets against the mandatory hijab rule and in support of Ms. Amini.

According to reports, Haghigi and Ahmadi were detained on November 10 of last year. In addition to a prison sentence, the pair has been given a two-year ban for using the internet and a two-year travel ban out of Iran for dancing in public.

Additionally, they are accused of “colluding with the goal to undermine national security and advance propaganda.”

As a result of the protests, three Iranian men now face the death penalty; according to reports, they were subjected to horrific torture.

Amnesty International has grave concerns about the nation’s justice system and claims that torture, including rape and beatings, was used against them in a recent report.

According to the complaint, Mehdi Mohammadifard was badly beaten and sexually assaulted by prison guards. He also allegedly sustained anal injuries and rectal bleeding that necessitated medical attention outside of the prison where he was being housed.

In addition to Javad Rouhi, 31, and Arshia Takdastan, 18, Mr. Mohammadifard received death sentences. The allegations against all three include “enmity against God” and “corruption on Earth.”

Amnesty claimed to have learned that Rouhi had endured brutal beatings and floggings, including being struck on the soles of his feet and while chained to a pole, as well as having ice applied to his testicles.

Despite frantic requests from the British authorities for his release, a dual citizen of Britain and Iran who had previously held a top position in the Iranian administration was executed two weeks ago.

2019 saw the arrest of Alireza Akbari, who was later found guilty of spying for the UK despite his and his family’s vehement denials.

It was described as a “cowardly crime, carried out by a savage administration with no respect for the human rights of their own people” by Rishi Sunak, the prime minister of the United Kingdom.
