TEHRAN          -         The daughter of former Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani has been sentenced to five years in prison, her lawyer said Tuesday. The verdict against Faezeh Hashemi, who is a known Iranian activist, is “not final,” the lawyer, Neda Shams, said in a tweet. “The client is still in prison and there are other cases against her,” Shams added. Hashemi was indicted last year by Tehran’s public prosecutor on charges of “propaganda against the system,” state-aligned news agency ISNA said on Tuesday. She was arrested and transferred to Evin prison in September, according to ISNA. Iran has detained a number of high-profile activists in recent months, including writer and poet Mona Borzouei, singer Shervin Hajipour and Iranian football player Hossein Mahini, as anti-government protests rocked the country. Over the past decade, Hashemi has been jailed several times for making anti-government statements and participating in protests. She spent months in prison after a 2012 arrest for making anti-government statements. Her father was a revolutionary who fought the Shah’s regime and its Westernleaning social and economic policies but pushed for liberalization and privatization programs.
