Sanandaj, Western Iran – Siran Khosravi, a 37-year-old women’s rights activist from Sanandaj, has been in detention for nearly a month with no information about her current situation or whereabouts. She was arrested on November 19, 2024, when Iranian intelligence agents raided her home without a warrant.
Eyewitnesses describe the early morning operation as one designed to instill fear, with agents forcing their way into Khosravi’s residence and taking her to an undisclosed location. Since then, she has been denied fundamental rights, including access to her family, legal counsel, and communication.
Despite continuous efforts by her family to find answers, authorities have not provided any information about the reasons for her arrest or the charges she may face. The lack of transparency has raised serious concerns about her safety and well-being.
Siran Khosravi’s detention is part of a larger pattern of targeting women’s rights activists in Iran, particularly in Kurdish regions. Advocates for gender equality and social reform often face harsh crackdowns, arbitrary arrests, and prolonged detention without trial.
The uncertainty surrounding Khosravi’s case highlights the broader challenges faced by activists in Iran. Government actions frequently stifle dissent and undermine human rights.
