Because of her participation in the systemic protests, she was sentenced to two months of cleaning the park.

The photographer herself confirmed the court ruling that Shargh newspaper reported on Instagram and posted a video of herself in an orange uniform at the new job. “As a photographer I am not allowed to reflect the reality of my country, I am very happy to do this honorable job,” the 41-year-old said on Instagram.
The award-winning Moaiery was arrested in September while taking photos of protests. She was released on bail at the end of December. The sentence also includes a six-year suspended prison sentence and a two-year travel ban. It was said that she was not allowed to use her cell phone or social media for the same period of time.
Two other protesters executed
