This was reported by the Iranian Human Rights Organization.

According to reports, one of the activists was sentenced to nine years and six months, eight to six years and one month, and two to one year.

They were charged with "joining an organization with the intention of undermining national security" and "inciting against the government."

It should be noted that, despite the fact that there are over 300,000 Baha'is in Iran, the Iranian constitution does not officially recognize the Baha'i religion.

According to a decision made by Iran's Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, those who practice the Baha'i faith are not eligible for citizenship.
