 Tehran, Iran, Jul. 27 – A student from the restive
Iranian city of Ahwaz
has been sentenced to 10 years in prison, according to the state-run news
agency ILNA.
Lefteh Sorkheh, a student
in Shahid

sentence for “acting against national security”, ILNA reported on Wednesday.
It said that Sorkheh was found guilty of membership
in an outlawed group.
Ahwaz, the Arab-dominated provincial capital of
oil-rich Khuzestan
