DUBAI, April 26 (Reuters) - An Iranian Revolutionary court
has sentenced British-Iranian aid worker Nazanin
Zaghari-Ratcliffe to a one-year jail term and she is banned from
leaving the country for a year, her lawyer Hojjat Kermani told
Emtedad news website on Monday.
"Nazanin Zaghari was sentenced to one year in prison and a
one year ban from leaving the country on charges of propaganda
against the Islamic Republic," Kermani told the website.
Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a project manager with the Thomson
Reuters Foundation charity, was arrested at a Tehran airport in
April 2016 and later convicted of plotting to overthrow the
clerical establishment.
She was released from house arrest last month at the end of
a five-year sentence, but immediately ordered back into court to
face the new propaganda charges.
Kermani said he would appeal the new sentence within 21 days
under Iranian law.
Her family and the foundation, a charity that operates
independently of media firm Thomson Reuters and its news
subsidiary Reuters, deny the charges.
Zaghari-Ratcliffe spent four years in jail before being
released into house arrest in March 2020 during the coronavirus.
