 People are generally only convicted of moharebeh and executed if they had murdered somebody (at any point in their lives), or they committed serious acts against the state and society (such as repeatedly attempting the murder of police).It can also be applied for treason, espionage, "terrorism", and "acts against the state".These sentences are not commonly implemented (at least in full) due to the high burden of proof and the emphasis on repentance and forgiveness required.
