Mehdi Nazer and his fiancée Mahnaz Chardoli were sentenced to death in Tir 1405. According to the source, on the date on which they were arrested no report of any gathering or attack on a mosque had been published, and their court-appointed lawyer, according to an informed source, took money from the families and in effect pushed forward what the judge wanted. This is the sentence the court has handed down, not proof of guilt.
