Nasrin Sotoudeh — a prominent human rights lawyer in Iran, who was facing criminal charges for defending women’s rights — has been sentenced to a prison term totaling 38 years and 148 lashes
This is the harshest sentence recorded against a human rights defender in Iran in recent years, suggesting that the authorities are stepping up their repression. This sentence keeps Nasrin separated from her husband and two children — and prevents her from being able to carry out her important work as a human rights lawyer.
