HRANA News Agency – The attorney of Arzhang Davoodi has realized that Branch number one of the revolutionary court of Karaj has based the sentence on the former Islamic Penal Code.
According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), Vahid Meshkani Farahani, the attorney of Arzhang Davoodi, has realized that Branch number one of Karaj’s revolutionary court with chief judge Asef AL-Hossaini, has based the sentence on verse number 186 and sentenced him to death.
An informed source said to HRANA’s reporter, “it is more than a year that this law has been obsoleted and there is no such verse in new Islamic Penal Code and maximum sentence for the charges of Arzhang Davoodi could be 15 years in prison (support and effective activities in regards of MEK’s goal).”
Branch number one of revolutionary of Karaj has sentenced Arjhang Davoodi to death but this sentence has not been submitted to Arzhang Davoodi yet. The attorney of Arzhang Davoodi appealed the sentence and the supreme court should assess the sentence.
During last two years Arzhang Davoodi has received two sentences of two and ten years in prison from branch number 26 of revolutionary court of Tehran while he was serving his first ten years in prison sentence. These two sentences and the recent death sentence are all due to his political activities from inside the prison.
Arzhang Davoodi is currently kept in central prison of Bandarabbas but prison authorities informed him that he will be transferred to a prison in Tehran province.
