A British-Iranian academic has been sentenced to eight years in prison by a court in Tehran, his lawyer says.
Kameel Ahmady was convicted of “collaborating with a hostile government”, Amir Raesian tweeted.
One local news agency said he was given a nine-year sentence for illegally receiving funds from institutions trying to topple the Iranian regime.
Mr Ahmady is an anthropologist who has studied child marriage, female genital mutilation and sexuality in Iran.
