The first session of the trial of Negar Dabbaghi, a 17-year-old protester, will be held on March 1 in one of the branches of the Revolutionary Court in Tabriz. This is while, according to the laws of the Islamic Republic, cases involving individuals under 18 years of age should be handled by the special court for children and adolescents. The legal advisory group Dadban reported that the first session of the trial of Negar Dabbaghi, who was arrested on November 23 on charges including insulting Ruhollah Khomeini and Ali Khamenei, will take place on the first day of March in Branch 8 of the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Tabriz. Negar Dabbaghi was arrested on November 23 of this year based on a summons issued by Branch 10 of the public and revolutionary prosecutor's office in Tabriz and was transferred to prison. According to the indictment, this 17-year-old protester from Tabriz faces charges including 'encouraging people to commit crimes against internal and external security, propaganda against the Islamic Republic system, and insulting the founder and leader of the Islamic Republic.' The handling of Negar Dabbaghi's case in the Islamic Revolutionary Court comes as the Dadban legal advisory group emphasizes that 'her legal case should be handled in the special court for children and adolescents according to the law.' Negar Dabbaghi was born in June 2007 and was temporarily released from prison two weeks after her arrest by posting a bail of 400 million tomans. After her temporary release, she emphasized in a video that 'I am not regretful and I will not be.'
