December 15, 2022: Sonia Sharifi, 17, charged with ‘waging war on God’ According to Kurdish sources, a teenage girl, Sonia Sharifi, has been charged with Moharebeh, or waging war on God, for allegedly making Molotov Cocktails. Security forces arrested Sonia Sharifi, 17, in the city of Abdanan, Ilam, on November 19 for participating in anti-regime protests. They transferred her to the women’s ward of the Central Prison of Ilam. Sonia Sharifi has been deprived of access to a lawyer. The court has not accepted a lawyer for her case. One of the Revolutionary Court branches has arraigned Sonia Sharifi on her charges. Security forces pressured her to make false confessions and say that she had made Molotov Cocktails and written slogans on walls. Sonia Sharifi, a high school student, is detained in the Reform and Rehabilitation Center of Ilam. The Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office of Abdanan has refused to provide precise information to Ms. Sharifi’s family and refrained from accepting a lawyer for her case. In a tweet, a German MP declared that she would undertake the “political sponsorship for her and I am committed to her release!” According to the clerical regime’s Sharia law, those charged with Moharebeh can be punished by death. Kurdpa says the girl has already been convicted, while Women.Ncr says she still has to undergo trial.
