The three protesters&#039; trial was held in their absence and the three men were sentenced to a total of 13 years of prison and 222 lashes. Sattar Afshinpour was charged with \u201cdestruction and torching banks and public facilities\u201d and \u201cdisruption of public order\u201d and sentenced to 11 years of prison and 74 lashes.
