On Wednesday 9 November 2005 the verdict of the court of the ‘Islamic Revolution’ on four of the activists arrested in Saghez was pronounced to their lawyers. According to the court's verdict Mahmoud Salehi has been sentenced to five years in prison and three years internal exile and Jalal Hosseini to three years in prison.
