He was tried without a defense lawyer and was found guilty of Article 499, "membership in organizations aiming to disrupt national security," and Article 500 of Islamic Penal Code, "propagating for opposition groups," and was sentenced to six years in prison.

Mohammadiwas tried again on April 17, 2008, and was found guilty of Article 513 of Islamic Penal Code, "insulting sanctities," and was sentenced to an additional five years and six months in prison and cash fines.

Mohammadi was granted a month's furlough for the first time in seven years on June 13, 2011.

political freedom is part of basic human rights and IRI has been violating those rights for the past 33 years.

there are vast number of brave individuals who have refused to give up their right ans as a result are spending years of their lives behind bars.

A sustain campaign for their immediate and unconditional support is a must for all Iranians who cherish freedom and democracy for their mother-land.

My salute to this brave individual and all his family for not bowing to the regime.

'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory

On all "Iranian/american"  parasites and lobbyists who from the comfort of their DC/california residences, still overtly and covertly defend the existance of this fascist entity of the islamist regime, which puts  brave and patriotic Iranians, such as Mr. Mohammadi behind the bars.

What a shame. Make him mad and then add 5 years for it.

I can imagine him being mentally tortured to the point he gets so mad that he yells out of frustration the hell with you, mohammad and al-e mohammad and then for that he gets additional 5 years.  There is no limit for injustice in Islamic Republic.

Very noble and humble of him to take the blame so others could go free.  Shame on Islamic Republic. 

Everything is sacred
