Women and children’s rights activist Samaneh Asghari was transferred to Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison to serve her one-year prison term.
“The one-year prison term for my wife was implemented from today Wednesday, April 3, after she went to the Shahr-e Rey Court and was transferred to Evin Prison,” her husband announced.
Samaneh Asghari was arrested in September 2023 by security forces in her Tehran home and released on bail from Qarchak Prison in Varamin after twenty days.
She was sentenced to one year of prison last December by the 29th Branch of the Revolutionary Court and the sentence was upheld by the court of review.
Samaneh Asghari, an Industrial engineering graduate of Tehran’s Kharazmi University, was also detained during the 2022 nationwide Iran protests in October 2022.
