Mahan Sadrat's death sentence commuted to imprisonment and exile

The judiciary announced the commutation of Mahan Sadrat's death sentence to imprisonment and exile.

This morning, Tuesday, February 25, the Islamic Republic of Iran's Judiciary News Agency announced that the death sentence of Mahan Sadrat Marni, one of the detainees of the nationwide protests of 1401, has been commuted to imprisonment and exile, following the news of the execution of Mohammad Ghobadlo.

Mahan Sadrat, born in 1999, was arrested last year following nationwide protests in Tehran and was sentenced to death for carrying a knife and fighting with an officer. She was charged with "moharebeh," "gathering and colluding against national security," and "propaganda activity against the regime." She had repeatedly stated in her court statements that she did not have a knife, but the judiciary sentenced her to death.

After accepting the request for a retrial, his case was submitted to the same branch and, based on the new verdict, he was sentenced to a total of 16 years in prison and exile, of which 10 years of his imprisonment can be served in exile and in the "Kalibar" prison in East Azerbaijan. More than a year has passed since the nationwide protests, but the Islamic Republic regime is still continuing its crimes and executing protesters. Protesters whose cases are full of ambiguity and in most cases have even been violated, but the judicial system, regardless of the violations of the case and the existing ambiguities, has issued and implemented death sentences for them solely because of the forced confessions obtained from the defendants under torture.
