News Center- Maryam Karimi, a designer and tourist guide in Iran’s Rasht city, has been sentenced to two years and seven months in prison on charges of “encouraging corruption and prostitution by calling for a civil disobedience”, “posting indecent photos” and “propaganda against the system”, Maryam Karimi said in a post on Instagram on Saturday.

 In May 2024, Maryam Karimi was arrested in a house raid by Iran’s security forces. After being informed about the charges against her, she was released on bail.

“On a beautiful day in May, they raided my home, handcuffed me, and took me to the Prosecutor's Office of Rasht,” her post said.
