Tehran - An Iranian man faces a possible lengthy prison term or even the death penalty for attaching a sticker to the rear window of his car proclaiming "The era of arrogant rulers is over," his lawyer said Thursday.
"My client faces jail for acting against national security just because of that sticker," attorney Mohammad Ali Dadkhah told Reuters.
The charge of acting against national security normally carries a hefty prison sentence and in some cases has led to the death penalty being imposed. ...
[Ali Akbar] Najafi was released on bail of $25,000 and ordered to appear before a branch of the Revolutionary Court on December 28.
His arrest in June coincided with a rash of pro-democracy protests during which around 4,000 people were arrested. The vast majority of them were released without charge.
