Tormenting a grandmother for her beliefs ! Enough is enough, Mahvash should be released by the the Islamic Republic after decades of abuse. #FreeMahvash
๐จ 72-year-old Mahvash Sabet, a member of the persecuted Bahรก'รญ community in Iran, is being denied critical medical care while imprisoned in Tehranโs Evin Prison.
Sabet, who suffers from a severe lung disease, requires specialized treatment that cannot be provided in prison, according to a family source who spoke to HRANA.
Despite her deteriorating health, authorities have refused to transfer her to a medical facility. Sabet is currently serving a 10-year sentence on sham charges of "organizing a group under a deviant sect with the intent to disrupt national security.โ
๐ Baha'is are the largest unrecognized religious minority in Iran and have been systematically persecuted by the Islamic Republic since its establishment in 1979 simply for practicing their faith.
After almost 16 yrs of unjust imprisonment, poet Mahvash Sabat is set to be returned to prison in Iran after open-heart surgery - jailed for her beliefs as a Bahaโi. Say NO and be her voice #FreeMahvash This a poem of hers I read a few years ago in support of a previous campaign
