HRANA News Agency – On Saturday April 9, 2011, Sarah Mahboubi, a Baha'i college student deprived of an education, was arrested for the second time in a year and transferred to the detention center located at the Intelligence Agency in Sari [the capital of Mazandaran Province, Iran].
According to a report by Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), the intelligence officers of Sari arrested Sarah Mahboubi after searching her family home and seizing books, handwritten notes, CDs and a computer from her residence.
Previously, Sarah Mahboubi was summoned to Sari’s Intelligence Agency and was subsequently arrested on June 24, 2010. After twenty four days of incarceration, she was finally released by posting bail on July 18, 2010.
This arrest took place while on Thursday April 7, 2011, Sarah Mahboubi’s ten year discretionary prison sentence issued by the lower court had been delivered to her attorney. One of the charges against Sarah Mahboubi as outlined in court documents is her “membership in the anti-revolutionary facebook website.”
Before her arrest, Sarah Mahboubi had been summoned to court by phone several times in order to receive the verdict, but she had refused to comply since the summon was done by phone.
