Iran’s Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of labor activist Sharifeh Mohammadi, despite unresolved legal flaws in her case. Mohammadi was convicted of baghi (armed rebellion against the state), a charge carrying the death penalty, though rights groups argue her real “crime” was labor activism through the Committee for Coordinating to Help Form Workers’ Organizations. Authorities accuse the group of ties to the Kurdish Komala movement, but both Mohammadi’s family and Komala deny any connection. During her detention, she was denied basic prisoner rights, including family visits and phone calls with her child. Human rights advocates, including Masih Alinejad, have condemned the ruling, calling it an assault not only on Mohammadi but on all mothers seeking a better future for their children.
Righteous God, we cry out for justice on behalf of Sharifeh Mohammadi and all who face unfair trials. Let truth prevail and overturn every false accusation (The Holy Bible, Proverbs 21:15).
Almighty God, bring freedom to those imprisoned unjustly and shine Your light in the darkest places. May the voices of truth and justice rise until oppression is broken (The Holy Bible, Psalm 146:7).
