Sara Sabat Rasikh, a Baha'i citizen in Isfahan, sentenced to eight years in prison

Sara Sabat Rasikh, a Baha'i citizen in Isfahan, was sentenced to eight years in prison in a ruling confirmed by the appellate court. According to HRANA, Ms. Sabat was sentenced to one year in prison for the charge of 'propaganda against the regime,' five years for 'insulting the sanctities of Islam,' and two years for 'insulting the founder of the Islamic Republic and insulting the leadership,' totaling eight years in prison. Based on Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, five years of imprisonment is enforceable for her. The judiciary had previously sentenced this Baha'i citizen to two years in prison in the first case against her and released her late last year with an electronic ankle monitor to serve the remainder of her sentence at home. Security forces raided her home in Azar 1400 (December 2021), confiscating personal belongings and transferring her to a detention center in Isfahan, where she was temporarily released in Dey (January) of that year. In Farvardin 1401 (April 2022), she was ultimately sentenced to two years in prison by the first branch of the Revolutionary Court of Isfahan, presided over by Ali Deyani. Relatives of Sara Sabat have told a human rights reporter in Iran that the second case formed against her was due to her criticism of the current situation in the country on her personal pages, and this case apparently faced the heavy sentence of eight years in prison.
