In the same ruling, his counterpart, Jamshid Hassanzahi, aged 29, received a 25-year prison term.
Haalvsh news series disclosed that these two young activists from Zahedan, denied legal representation throughout detention and trial, were accused of "shooting at the vehicle of Cheshmeh Ziarat village police station" in Zahedan, resulting in these severe penalties.
