According to the verdict, Mehrdad Sabouri, Delniya Sabouri, Rozhin Ebrahimi and Omid Ahmadi were each sentenced to one year in prison while Aram Mohammadi and Shaho Sadeghi were each sentenced to three months and one day in prison
The initial verdict for Shaho Sadeghi, Aram Mohammadi, Mehrdad Sabouri and Omid Ahmadi, was affirmed by the Court of Appeal but the imprisonment sentence for Rojin Ebrahimi and Delnia Sabouri was reduced to 3 days. All these people were transferred to Kamyaran Prison in December last year to serve their sentence.
