<coverage-outsourcing id='19177'> Majzooban Noor reported that the Revolutionary Court of Shiraz has changed Mohammad Ali Shamshirzan’s sentence of exile for life to prison for life. Based on a fatwa issued by, Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Iranian regime in Iran, those charged with “warring against God”, that have been sentenced to exile, should be barred from contact with others during their term of exile, and in the interpretation of some of the judges, this means imprisonment in exile. This fatwa and the evidentiary documents from the judiciary in Shiraz in support of Article 284 of Islamic punishment that makes the completion of the term of exile conditional upon repentance and retraction, has literally led to a change of sentence from life in exile to life in prison for all the imprisoned dervishes, and for Mohammad Ali Shamshirzan the sentence has been implemented </coverage-outsourcing>
