Most of them were released on the following days. According to the reports, the shock caused by the presence of security guards at midnight at Shapour Rashno and Zainab Keshvari’s home led to the abortion of her three-month baby. After Mrs. Keshvari’s complaint because of the behavior of the IRGC forces and their failure to dissuade her from pursuing the case, the judiciary finally convicted her of "propaganda against the regime," and Judge Mousavi sentenced her to three months in Dezful's court </coverage-outsourcing>
