Roya Sabet, a Bahá'í citizen residing in the United Arab Emirates, where she had lived for 23 years, travelled to Shiraz on January 4, 2024, to care for her elderly and ill parents. While there, she was arrested by IRGC intelligence agents on charges of propaganda against the regime and actions against national security. On this day she was sentenced by Branch 1 of the Shiraz Revolutionary Court to 25 years of discretionary imprisonment, a two-year travel ban with passport cancellation, deprivation of social rights, and a ban on online activities. If upheld by the appeals court, 10 years of imprisonment—as the most severe charge—will be enforceable under sentencing aggregation laws.
The charges against her include: Collaboration and communication with citizens and institutions of the Israeli government. Forming and leading a group with the intent to act against national security. Propaganda activities contrary to the sacred Islamic law. She was eventually released from Adelabad Prison in Shiraz in August 2024, after seven months of pre-trial detention, upon posting bail. [Iran Press Watch 4 June 2025] |
