According to HRANA, quoting Shahrvand Newspaper, a man was sentenced to death in Tehran on a charge of Moharebeh. Moharebeh, loosely translated as “waging war against God”, is a pillar of Islamic sharia law that is typically applied to those suspected of connection to any acts against the state. Per the report, in late May 2017, detectives from the capital’s police station began investigating the case, and several men were arrested for extortion. The case was sent from the Theft Court to the Revolutionary Court after a confession was obtained from the accused. Finally, the judge sentenced the leader of the extortionists to death.
