NCRI – Imprisoned Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi has received a 10-year prison sentence by the mullahs’ regime, it was announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The regime’s ruthless hangman-judge Abolqasem Salavati handed down the sentence over Ms. Mohammadi’s human rights campaigning. A sham trial was held at the mullahs’ so-called Revolutionary Court in Tehran on April 20, 2016.<\/p>\n
Shahin Gobadi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on Wednesday \u201cstrongly condemned\u201d the unjust sentence.<\/strong><\/p>\n He said: \u201cThis is in tandem with the drastically deteriorating human rights situation in Iran, marked with a steep rise in the number of executions and inhumane punishments in recent months.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Ms. Mohammadi, a mother of two, was transferred to prison on May 5, 2015 after she was illegally arrested by intelligence agents at her home without a judicial warrant and subsequently transferred to Evin Prison. In order to put pressure on this political prisoner, all her medicine was taken away from her upon her transfer to the ward and she has since been denied her medication.<\/p>\n Ms. Mohammadi was first arrested in June 2010 on the bogus charge of \u201cassembly and collaboration against national security\u201d and \u201cpropaganda against the system\u201d and was condemned to six years in prison. However, due to torture and the dire condition of the regime\u2019s prisons, she developed a nervous ailment and muscle paralysis during her interrogations. Subsequently she was released with a heavy bail because of her deteriorating condition in a decree that stated she \u201ccould not bear her sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n Ms. Mohammadi has been active in praising families of political prisoners, participating and speaking in the ceremony to honor Mr. Sattar Beheshti, the laborer and blogger martyred under torture, protesting against splashing of acid on women\u2019s faces, working to halt executions, and defending religious and ethnic minority prisoners. Her activities have enraged the religious fascism ruling Iran.<\/p>\n Last year it was said that following Ms. Mohammadi\u2019s opposition to the execution of a number of Sunni prisoners and her call for a fair judicial process for them, the ludicrous charge of \u201ccooperation with ISIS\u201d was added to her charges. There is a letter from the intelligence ministry in her file that requests \u201cthe highest punishment for Narges Mohammadi because she is not remorseful.\u201d<\/p>\n Ms. Sarvnaz Chitsaz, Chair of Women\u2019s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, on August 12, 2015 urged international human rights organizations and Mr. Ahmed Shaheed, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, as well as women\u2019s rights bodies, to condemn arbitrary arrests by the Iranian regime and to take effective measures to secure the release of Ms. Narges Mohammadi and other female political prisoners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NCRI – Imprisoned Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi has received a 10-year prison sentence by the mullahs’ regime, it was announced on Wednesday.
