Lawyer Amir Raisiyan revealed that Branch 39 of Iran's Supreme Court of Appeals has finally upheld the death sentence against his client, Sharifeh Mohammadi.

The statement stated that Iran's Supreme Court of Appeals upheld the sentence without considering the shortcomings and objections raised.

It is worth noting that women's rights activist Sharifeh Mohammadi, 45, originally from Urmia, Eastern Kurdistan, who lives in Rasht, was charged with "propaganda against the state" in December 2023.

On July 4, 2024, the Iranian Revolutionary Court issued a death sentence. Later, on October 12, 2024, the sentence was overturned.

However, on February 13, 2025, the head of the second branch of the Revolutionary Court in Rasht, Mohammad Ali Darvish Goftar, reaffirmed the death sentence against political prisoner Sharifeh Mohammadi.
