Majid Azarpey, told the Iran Human Rights Campaign, in regards to his initial and appeals hearing, that his main charges were “propagating against the state” and “assembly and collusion in order to act against national security”. He faced other charges, as well, but prior to this, in the process of investigation, has been cleared or another person has taken responsibility for the charge. According to the statements of Mr. Azarpey the charge of selling military equipment consisted of two empty of bullet shells, which were his uncle’s souvenir’s from the Iraq war, a military taser that is a “toy” and also came from Iraq, as well as the keeping of cards, backgammon set and a satellite dish which during investigation were found to be false. He was, finally, condemned to five years prison for the charges of “assembly and collusion to act against national security”, one year in prison for, “propagating against the state” and six months prison and three million Tomans fine for the other charges. With the application of Article 134, five years of this sentence will be served. According to the statements of Majid Azarpey, “in the court, Mr. Moghiseh used every insult possible. When it was time for the hearing of my case he kicked me out of the room, and said, you are the deadly poison of the state, you shouldn’t be allowed to exist, and we are doing you a favor letting you to stay alive, he didn’t allow me to speak in the initial hearing either. He took my lawyer to task and finally issued such a verdict. Regarding the Appeals court he said, “the appeals court’s did not do a good job. It appears, that Mr. Zargar, the judge at branch 36 of the court of appeals is sick and has not judged for some time, but his name is still there. Since, we knew that any verdict that they want approved they send to this branch, giving it the name of the Approval Court, but there was a young judge named, Babaei there instead of Mr. Zargar, who was very helpful and said that this case had been unfairly treated and lacked any evidence. He helped in the writing of the defense arguments and consulted my lawyer. He believed that, at least, the five years prison sentence for the charge of assembly and collusion will be annulled but, in reality, we did not see it happen. We do not know the factors that led to this opinion but we know that the verdict was not written by the judge, his chief of staff has written in a few lines that the defense has no evidence and therefore the sentence is confirmed”
