Iranian Professor Jailed After Attending Training Course In Prague February 09, 2021 11:21 GMT Share share Print A Revolutionary Court in Iran has sentenced a law professor to seven years in prison after convicting him of "cooperating with an enemy state." The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported on February 8 that Reza Eslami, a professor at Tehran's Shahid Beheshti University, had been also banned from teaching and leaving the country. The sentence, subject to appeal, was issued by Judge Abolghassem Salavati, who presides over Branch 15 of Tehran’s Revolutionary Court. Salavati was placed under U.S. sanctions in 2019 for issuing harsh sentences against journalists, activists, and others.
