A Revolutionary Court in Iran's northern city of Rasht has sentenced two Baha'i women to prison terms and additional penalties.
Shiva Kashani-Nejad and Mozhgan Samimi, both residents of Rasht, have been sentenced to two years and one day in prison by the 3rd branch of the Rasht Revolutionary Court.
They were sentenced for educational activities and promoting matters related to the Baha'i faith, according to the Hengaw human rights organization.
Shiva Kashani-Nejad and Mozhgan Samimi were arrested in July 2023 during a raid on their home by security forces, during which personal belongings such as mobile phones, books, and children's storybooks were confiscated.
Baha'is have been systematically persecuted in Iran for 45 years because of their faith and are often accused of being spies or dissidents. No evidence has ever been provided to back these accusations.
Over the past two years, the government has intensified its crackdown on members of the Baha'i faith, imprisoning dozens of them on spurious charges, as well as denying them access to higher education and livelihoods, and confiscating or destroying personal property.
