| Maryam Shafiipour |
Iranian female student activist, Maryam Shafipour has become the first Iranian student to be sentenced to long term prison for political activism since Rouhani became the president of the Islamic Republic.
Maryam Shafipour was an active member of Karroubi's Women's Committee
election campaign team. She received a suspended sentence in 2010 on
usual charges of "spreading propaganda against the 'holy establishment'
of the Islamic Republic" and was banned from continuing her higher
education.
In July, 2013, Maryam was detained again and spent 60 days in solitary confinement with no access to a lawyer.
Yesterday she received a seven year sentence by the notorious judge
Salavati after seven months of being interrogated in prison and refusing
to repent for her peaceful activism.
