In response to U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion that eight women arrested during protests in Iran are facing imminent execution, the Iranian judiciary has firmly denied these claims. The judiciary stated that some of the women have already been released, while others may face imprisonment if convicted, but not execution. Rights groups report that at least one woman, Bita Hemmati, has been sentenced to death for her alleged involvement in violent protests. Another woman, Mahboubeh Shabani, is facing charges of 'waging war against God' for allegedly aiding injured protesters. Activist Masih Alinejad has publicly named the arrested women, raising awareness about their situations. Trump's comments were made in the context of urging Iran to release the women as a gesture that could facilitate negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.
