The campaign to defend Sharifeh Mohammadi announced that the case of this labor activist has been sent to an equivalent branch after the death sentence was overturned and will be handled by the son of the same previous judge in the second branch of the Revolutionary Court in Rasht. According to a report from the Telegram channel 'Campaign to Defend Sharifeh Mohammadi' on Tuesday, November 13, the case of this political prisoner has been transferred 'from the father judge to the son judge,' and 'the judge of the equivalent branch handling Sharifeh Mohammadi's case is the son of Judge Ahmad Darvish Ghatari, who issued her death sentence.' The report states that the hearing for this political prisoner's case is scheduled for Thursday, November 15, in the second branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Rasht. Previously, Ahmad Darvish Ghatari, who is also the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Rasht, sentenced Ms. Mohammadi to death on charges of 'baghi' (rebellion), but this sentence was overturned by Branch 39 of the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic due to 'serious flaws.' The head of the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Rasht, who according to the Campaign to Defend Sharifeh Mohammadi had presided over her case and 'did not respect any of the defendant's rights and violated human rights in various ways,' has once again 'violated the laws' and placed the case 'in the hands of his son.' The campaign emphasized that 'this issue raises many concerns about the impartiality of the proceedings.' Sharifeh Mohammadi was arrested last December and on July 5 of this year was sentenced to death by the first branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Rasht on charges of 'baghi,' and the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic overturned this sentence. Larissa Waters, an Australian senator and political sponsor of Sharifeh Mohammadi, welcomed the cancellation of the death sentence for this labor activist imprisoned in Lakan prison in Rasht by the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic, previously emphasizing that the fight for her freedom will continue.
