Radio Farda has learned that the Revolutionary Court of Isfahan has sentenced Maryam Mehrabi, sister of Mahmoud Mehrabi, a political prisoner sentenced to death, to six years in prison. Mahaan (Hajar) Mehrabi, the sister of this political prisoner, stated in a video sent to Radio Farda on Sunday, August 5, that Ms. Mehrabi has also been sentenced to 'two years of service deprivation' and 'two years of exit ban.' According to Ms. Mehrabi, the Revolutionary Court has charged Maryam Mehrabi with 'propaganda against the regime' and 'inciting people to murder.' In the video, she mentioned that her sister has been subjected to 'case fabrication' and said, 'You have detained Maryam Mehrabi for more than 40 days now, held a trial without her having the right to a lawyer, and issued a verdict against her.' She further stated that her sister only 'protested her brother's verdict and is a seeker of justice.' Maryam Mehrabi was arrested on June 19 of this year along with her two young daughters by security forces at her home in Isfahan. Mahmoud Mehrabi was sentenced to death on May 5 of this year by Branch 5 of the Revolutionary Court of Isfahan on charges of 'corruption on earth.'
