Marzieh Shamsabadi, 32, Sentenced To Death By Iran's Bandar Abbas Court

The court stacked four more charges, espionage among them, onto a blogger who has lived with multiple sclerosis for six years.

  • Arrested in April 2026 for sending a bombed-site photo to Persian media abroad.
  • Corruption on earth was the lead charge, filed alongside espionage and insulting the leader.
  • Sentence also confiscates her property and bars her from public service for life.

Why it matters: Corruption on earth is now the legal name for anything that embarrasses the regime.
