- Description
- In May 2006, 54 Baha'i youth were arrested on charges of "propaganda against the Islamic Republic" for voluntarily and spontaneously educating low-income children in poor neighbourhoods in Shiraz. During Mousavi Tabar’s tenure as head of Shiraz Prosecution office, Raha Sabet, along with Haleh Rouhi and Sasan Taghva were sentenced to four years in prison in November 2007, in an unfair trial without observing the due process and the rights of the defendants. Another 51 members of this group were sentenced to one-year suspended imprisonment on the condition of "participating in Islamic propaganda classes." In November of 2008, Raha Sabet, Haleh Rouhani, and Sasan Taqva were summoned by the Shiraz Ministry of Intelligence and transferred to solitary confinement No. 100 in Shiraz in an extrajudicial act. These individuals spent most of their imprisonment in solitary confinement No. 100 in Shiraz.
