Judge Mahmoud Sadati, the head of the first branch of the Shiraz Revolutionary Court, sentenced Ms. Rezaei to five years for each of the two charges of "assembly and collusion with the intention of acting against the security of the country" and "membership in dissident groups", and for the charges of "insulting the leader" and "propaganda against the system" sentenced to two years and one year in prison, respectively at the preliminary stage; By applying Article 134 of the Criminal Code, five years of imprisonment is enforceable in this case. After some time, on an unknown date, her enforceable sentence was reduced to two years and six months of imprisonment by the 17th branch of the Fars Court of Appeal. Considering Ms. Rezaei's activities, which are centered around her support for constitutional monarchy, it seems that the basis for her charges was also centered around her activities in this field. It should be noted that the place of her arrest was probably in Fars province and that is why the judicial branches of this province have dealt with the case. </reference> </coverage-outsourcing>
