The mother of three brothers who are imprisoned in Iran for participating in that country’s 2018 protests says the brothers were tortured.
Bahieh Namjoo, the mother of Navid, Vahid and Habib Afkari, sent a recorded video to BBC Persian highlighting the cases of her three sons. Navid received a “double death sentence” for allegedly killing a police officer during the 2018 protests. Vahid was sentenced to 54 years in prison, and Habib was sentenced to 27 years. All of the brothers have also been sentenced to 74 lashes.
