A Bahai poet and writer is set to be returned to prison in Iran after undergoing open-heart surgery, a France-based group representing Iran’s largest religious minority said Thursday. Mahvash Sabet, 71, is serving a second 10-year jail sentence following her arrest in 2022 in a wave of detentions of Bahais. She had previously been released in 2018 alongside Fariba Kamalabadi, another prominent Bahai who was also re-arrested in 2022.
