Iranian woman Mahboubeh Shabani sentenced to death
Original: Mahboubeh Shabani sentenced to death over January protests
Mahboubeh Shabani has been sentenced to death in Iran in connection with protests that broke out in January. The sentence was reported by the Kurdish human rights group Hengaw, which monitors executions and repression in the region. Rights advocates say the ruling adds to a growing list of death sentences handed down over participation in demonstrations, and are calling for the verdict to be overturned.
Why now: Rights groups and activists are drawing attention to Iran's use of death sentences against protest participants.
