Former Green MP Golriz Ghahraman will find out her fate on Thursday.

Judge June Jelas has reserved a sentencing decision on shoplifting charges in court today.

The Judge has confirmed she won't be imprisoned.

NZ Herald court reporter Craig Kapitan says Ghahraman's defence says she was going through a mental health crisis.

"A mental health report suggests that she suffered complex PTSD, which was a result of her earlier life in Iran and 'public vitriol, threats and abuse' that dominated her time in Parliament."
