Tehran court issues sentences for 86 post-vote rioters

Sentences have been handed down to 86 detainees of Tehran's Western-led post-election unrests on charges that include taking part in illegal riots and disrupting public order.

The sentences issued by the Tehran Revolution Court have been transferred to the Implementation of Sentences Bureau, the court's public relations office announced in a Tuesday statement.

It added that most of the sentences that were issued to the 86 are prison terms.

According to the statement, the sentences were issued for charges such as "conspiring against national security, spreading propaganda against the establishment, membership in hostile and anti-Revolutionary groups, taking part in illegal gatherings, and disrupting public order."

Iranian security and justice officials have publicized evidence of US and European involvement in planning and backing the post-election riots in Tehran that included killing and injuring law-enforcement officers as well as destroying and burning public and private properties.
