Mina Yaghoubi, one of the defendants of a legal case known as “insulting the Martyrs’ cemetery of Arak”, was sentenced to eleven years in prison, 85 lashes and additional punishments.
According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, Mina Yaghoubi was sentenced to imprisonment and flogging.
In a video published on social media, Yaghoubi stated that the Revolutionary Court sentenced her to eight years and prohibited her from residing in the city of residence for two years. Additionally, the Criminal Court sentenced her to three years in prison, 85 lashes and 124 hours of cleaning graves as penal labor.
Without mentioning the charges, she stated that during the past three months, she did not speak out about these verdicts hoping that her lawyer’s objection led to commuting the sentences.
Yaghoubi was arrested and accused of throwing stones toward the Martyrs’ memorial gate of a cemetery in Arak.
At the time of her release from detention, a video of Yaghoubi showed bruises on her eyes after her release, indicating she has been tortured during detention.
