Farzaneh Mohammadi Parsa, a dentist originally from Abadan and residing in Tehran, was violently arrested by Iranian security forces on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, at her home. Without presenting any judicial warrant, the agents forcibly detained her, subjecting her to physical assault before transferring her to an undisclosed location.
Nine days after her arrest, no information about her whereabouts or condition has been made available. Her family’s efforts to determine her fate have yielded no results.
Farzaneh Mohammadi Parsa had previously been detained and threatened by security forces for opposing mandatory hijab laws and sharing posts about boycotting Iran’s presidential elections. She was released then after signing a written pledge.
No clear details about the charges against her or the reasons for her arrest have been disclosed. She has been denied contact with her family since her detention. Human rights organizations have expressed concern over her safety and the lack of transparency surrounding her case.
