23-year-old Accounting student sentenced to death for blasphemy

 

An Iranian woman has been sentenced to death for blasphemy over a social media post that insulted the prophet.

 

Accounting student, Najmeh Amini, 23, was sentenced to death last month after being held in the notorious Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad for eight months.

 

According to Mail Online, Amini was previously held on charges that included ‘insulting the Supreme Leader’ and ‘clashing with security agents.’

 

 

Now, Iranian human rights activists have revealed that the student was sentenced to death on charges of ‘sab ol-nabi’ (insulting the prophet).

 

 

She was also sentenced to 12 years, six months, and one day on charges of acting against national security and spreading anti-regime propaganda.

 

 

 

Amini was arrested on January 31 after she — alongside hundreds of thousands of Iranians — took to the streets to protest against its authoritarian government.

 

 

 

Following her sentencing last month, a leaked voice recording from inside prison emerged, in which Amini desperately pleaded for help.

 

 

 

‘Greetings to the people of Iran. I am Najmeh Amini, 23 years old, speaking from the central prison of Mashhad. I am leaving this message for you on 18 September 2026,’ she is heard saying.
