The case of Facebook user Soheil Arabi, who was sentenced to death last year on charge of insulting the prophet, has been sent back to court to be tried on September 1, 2015, according to HRANA News Agency.

Arabi’s lawyer, Amirsalar Davoodi, in an interview with HRANA said:

“After the death sentence of Soheil Arabi was denied in branch number 34 of the Supreme Court, with chief judge Eslami, the file has been sent to branch number 10 of penal court and the submission to court has been received, dated for September 1.”

In August 2014, Arabi was sentenced to death on charge of insulting the prophet. The verdict was overturned by the Supreme Court in June 2015.

Arabi was arrested in November 2013 and accused of "insulting the prophet", based on posts on his Facebook page. Although Arabi acknowledges writing the Facebook posts used as evidence against him, he has appealed the decision stating he wrote them without thinking and at a time when he was in a weak psychological state.

Arabi is currently kept in Ward 350 of Evin prison.
