Mahboubeh Shabani at Risk of a Death Sentence on the Charge of “Moharebeh”

According to published reports, Mahboubeh Shabani, a 30‑year‑old woman arrested during the protests of last December, is facing the serious charge of Moharebeh while being held in Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad. Human‑rights sources warn that she is at risk of receiving—or having executed—a death sentence.

Shabani has remained in detention since her arrest, and concerns have been raised about the lack of transparency in her legal proceedings and the potential use of severe charges against protest detainees.
