Iran Sentences Woman to Death for Social Media Blasphemy

An Iranian woman faces a death sentence for alleged blasphemy in a social media post, raising concerns about suppression of dissent.

Background

Iran's judicial system operates under Islamic law, which includes strict blasphemy statutes. The government frequently uses these laws, alongside others related to national security, to suppress dissent and control public expression, particularly on social media platforms. This approach has drawn international criticism regarding human rights and freedom of speech.
