Eqbal Barazandeh and Somayeh Beidi two Iranian activist have been accused of “acting against national security” by Iranian judiciary, sources told Avatoday on Friday.
Barazandeh and Beidi were arrested for “filming and reporting the anti-regime protests in November 2019 and January 2020”and “assisting foreign media.”
Barazandeh was arrested in late February in Tehran and Beidi in Isfahan. Thousands of protesters have been arrested since November.
Iranian authorities killed 1500 people during three-days protests in November, according to a special report by Reuters.
In the meantime, Iranian officials still refuse to reveal the death toll of November protests.
Amnesty International has also criticized the regime’s brutal treatments of prisoners.
"Torture and other ill-treatment, including prolonged solitary confinement, remained widespread and systematic, especially during interrogations. Authorities consistently failed to investigate torture allegations and hold those responsible to account," the report said.
