Their other accusations were “action against national security”, “propaganda against the regime”. And also “membership in Selfi groups”, “corruption in the earth” and “Moharebeh”.
In March 2015, they sentenced to death by Branch 28 of the Revolutionary Court headed by Judge Moghiseh. This sentence violated in the Supreme Court by Judge Razini.
This verdict reviewed once again in the 15th branch of Tehran Revolutionary Court. In June 2019, the death sentence again issued for them, and it confirmed by the Supreme Court in February 2019.

Execution is a type of punishment, in other words, the most severe punishment for the convict. Currently, most countries in the world have abolished the death penalty. And countries that still have this type of punishment in their laws, except in rare cases, refrain from issuing or enforcing such sentences.
