- <coverage-outsourcing id='19276'> According to a report by HRANA, the court in Babol, condemned Vahid Pourtahmasb to 10 years incarceration for the charge of “forming or running an illegal organization with the aim of disturbing national security”, and for “propagating against the state”, to one year in prison. With the application of Article 134, the bigger punishment (10 years incarceration) will be implemented. HRANA, quoting an informed source, writes, “the story of the court was such, 40 thousand tracts defending Mohammad Ali Taheri had been published. Security agents arrested those responsible in the print shop and Mr. Pourtahmasb”. It is therefore, unclear how the judge turned the printing of tracts into evidence for Article 498 of Islamic punishment (forming or running an illegal organization with the aim of disturbing national security) </coverage-outsourcing>
