After decades of punishment, "On 13 June 2018, Sotoudeh was arrested by security forces on a complaint filed by a judicial official in Kashan, reportedly due to her "legally representing Shaparak Shajarizadeh, who has been charged for peacefully protesting against Iran's compulsory hijab law." At the time of writing, bail has been set at 650 million tomans (approximately $152,500 USD) which Sotoudeh is refusing to pay, to protest this injustice, and she remains in jail. On 11 March 2019, her husband announced that she has been sentenced to 38 years in prison and 148 lashes "for her legal defense of women involved in protests against the compulsory hijab".
