On the morning of Tuesday, October 22, 2024, Hoda Mehreganfar, an electronics engineer, and her father, Mohammad Ali Mehreganfar, were arrested by Iranian intelligence forces.
At around 5 a.m., security agents stormed their home in Zarqan, a town in Fars Province, and took the 35-year-old Hoda and her 66-year-old father into custody without providing any reason for the arrest. Their current whereabouts remain unknown.
Efforts by the family to get information about Hoda and Mohammad Ali’s situation have so far been unsuccessful, leaving them deeply concerned for the safety and well-being of their loved ones.
Adding to the family’s distress, Hoda Mehreganfar had recently undergone a major surgery and was still in the recovery phase when she was arrested. This has intensified their worries about her condition while in detention.
