A Tehran court has sentenced Sepideh Rashno, a 29-year-old translator and editor, to four months in prison, for "publishing obscene images" on social media, her lawyer says.
The new sentence brings her total prison term to three years and 11 months.
Previously, Rashno reported that Al-Zahra University had banned her from studying for two semesters due to the "non-observance of Islamic clothing."
The young woman was arrested in July 2022 after she was filmed arguing with a woman on a bus over the mandatory headscarf.
Two weeks later, state TV aired a program showing her giving a forced confession while signs of beatings were visible even on her face.
