An Iranian court has ordered six Baha’i women in the city of Hamedan to serve a total of 39 years in prison on charges connected to their religious activities, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported on Monday.
The women Neda Mohebbi, Atefeh Zahedi, Farideh Ayubi, Noura Ayubi, Zarrindokht Ahadzadeh, and Zhaleh Rezaei have been instructed to present themselves at the Hamedan Revolutionary Court within ten days to begin serving their sentences.
They were convicted in June 2024 of membership in the Baha’i community and spreading propaganda against Islam. The rulings were upheld on appeal.
The six had initially been arrested by security forces in November 2023 and released on bail the following month. During the arrests, their homes were searched, according to HRANA.
