Nearly two months after the arrest of Arghavan Fallahi, there is still no information about her condition, and she remains in a state of uncertainty.
Born in 2000, Arghavan Fallahi was arrested on January 25, 2025, in Parand and transferred to Ward 209 of Evin Prison. Since then, no reliable updates have emerged regarding her status, leaving her fate unknown.
Fallahi had previously been arrested and was released from Evin Prison in late 2023. However, her recent re-arrest and the lack of information about her condition have raised serious concerns.
Arghavan Fallahi had been previously arrested in November 2022 alongside her father, Nasrollah Fallahi, and her brother, Ardavan Fallahi. The family was detained while traveling from Isfahan to Shiraz to visit a family friend, Parvin Mirasan. They were held for over two months in Isfahan’s detention centers, where they were subjected to interrogation and torture.
The Fallahi family and Ms. Mirasan were later transferred to Evin Prison and tried on charges of “membership in the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK),” “assembly and collusion against national security,” and “propaganda against the regime.” The court sentenced Parvin Mirasan and Nasrollah Fallahi to four years in prison each, Arghavan Fallahi to two years, and Ardavan Fallahi to one year.
After enduring one year and four months in prison, Arghavan Fallahi was finally released on bail in March 2024. However, her father, Nasrollah Fallahi, remains incarcerated in Evin Prison, serving his sentence.
The renewed arrest of Arghavan Fallahi underscores the Iranian regime’s continued crackdown on political dissidents, with former prisoners frequently facing re-arrest despite their prior sentences and releases.
