Tehran - An Iranian political protestor has been sentenced to a seven-year jail term and 74 lashes, the opposition website Mowjcamp reported Wednesday.

According to Mowjcamp, Soheyl Navidi-Kia, the son of a war veteran, was arrested during protests following last June's disputed presidential election on June 12 which led to the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Navidi-Kia was convicted of endangering national security, propaganda against the establishment and disturbing public disorder.

Lashes are usually used in Iran as penalty for hooligans and so far no political prisoner had been given the punishment.

The website's report has not yet been confirmed by the Iranian judiciary.

Some 4,000 people were arrested for protesting against alleged fraud in the June 12 presidential election and more than 100 of them are still jail on charges of planning to overthrow the Islamic establishment.

During the latest protest rally held last Wednesday, the Tehran police arrested more than 100 people, including four foreign nationals, on charges of disturbing public order, but 47 of them have been freed.

An Agence France Presse reporter, Farhad Pouladi, and a Danish student, Niels Krogsgard, who was in the country to write an essay on Iranian politics, were among the detainees but have already been released.

Days after the disputed June vote, which plunged Iran into its deepest internal crisis since the 1979 Islamic revolution, foreign media were banned from directly covering the street protests. (dpa)
