An Iranian accounting student, Najmeh Amini, 23, has reportedly been sentenced to d+ath for blasphemy after allegedly ins¥lting the Prophet in a social media post.
According to reports, Amini was sentenced last month after spending eight months in Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad. She was also handed a 12-year, six-month and one-day prison sentence for allegedly acting against national security and spreading anti-government propaganda.
Amini was arrested on January 31 following nationwide anti-government protests, during which security forces reportedly k+lled thousands and arrested tens of thousands, according to human rights groups.
Following her sentencing, a leaked voice recording reportedly made inside prison emerged, in which she appealed for help.
“I am an innocent girl, a young person with so many hopes and dreams. I have parents who are waiting for me,” she said, urging lawyers, human rights activists and international organisations to review her case.
