In another case, two people working for a charity were sentenced to 10 years in prison for spying and five years in prison for acting against national security on similar charges, judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili said, according to Fars. Esmaili did not provide any additional information about the nationality of the convicted individuals working for a charity.
