With the verdict of an Iranian Judge, two young convicts were sentenced to learn how to control their emotions, instead of imprisonment.
The two young men had been sentenced to imprisonment for disturbing public order, but because they regretted their work and had no criminal record, the judge suspended their imprisonment for a year and obliged them to take part in training courses on emotion control and behavior management during the suspension period, according to The Chief Justice of Golestan Province.
“The two young men must also hand in the related certificate to the Enforcement Unit of Criminal Sanctions;” he noted.
Golestan is one of the leading provinces in Iran in issuing alternative to imprisonment.
In Iran, besides custodial sentences, other penalties and non-punitive orders, including alternative sanctions and restraining orders, are variously imposed by courts.
