In continuation of the pressure on the families seeking justice, the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Isfahan sentenced Maryam Mehrabi to six years in prison and additional punishments.
According to hra-news, the six-year prison sentence and additional punishments for Maryam Mehrabi were recently issued by Branch One of the Isfahan Revolutionary Court, presided over by Mohammadreza Tavakoli, and were communicated to this political prisoner on Sunday, August 4.
Ms. Mehrabi was sentenced to one year in prison for “propaganda against the regime” and five years for “seducing or inciting people to war and killing with the intent of disturbing national security.” The Revolutionary Court also issued additional punishments of “two years of service prohibition and a two-year travel ban.”
Maryam Mehrabi’s conviction comes despite her only protesting her brother’s death sentence.
Branch Five of the Isfahan Islamic Revolutionary Court sentenced Mahmoud Mehrabi, a political prisoner arrested during nationwide protests, to death in May 2024 on charges of “corruption on earth.”
According to Mr. Mehrabi’s lawyer, the death sentence for this political prisoner has “10 fundamental flaws,” and an appeal has been filed with the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic.
Another part of Maryam Mehrabi’s case involving charges of “spreading falsehoods” is ongoing in Isfahan Criminal Court Two, and no verdict has been issued yet.
Meanwhile, Mahmoud Mehrabi’s sister has been “deprived of the right to access a lawyer,” and according to hra-news, “recently went on a hunger strike to protest her continued solitary confinement.”
Maryam Mehrabi was arrested on June 18 while her young children were with her. Previously, in March 2022, she was arrested by intelligence agents at the Mobarakeh County prosecutor’s office while pursuing her brother Mahmoud Mehrabi’s case and was transferred to Dolatabad Prison in Isfahan. However, she was released three days later on bail.
In September 2023, Ms. Mehrabi was sentenced to 74 lashes and three months in prison by Mobarakeh County Criminal Court Two, but this sentence was converted to a fine.
The pressure of the Iranian regime’s judicial authorities on the families of political protesters continues, including the arrest of Ali Adinezadeh, the father of the killed protester Abolfazl Adinezadeh, and the deprivation of medical care for Mashallah Karami, the father of executed protester Mohammad Mehdi Karami.
