Melika Khaleghi has been in detention for over a month without any formal charges or legal proceedings. She is currently being held at Kachouii Prison in Karaj.
Melika Khaleghi was arrested by security forces in mid-March 2025 and was initially held at the Karaj Intelligence Detention Center. On April 19, 2025, she was transferred to Kachouii Prison.
She faces vague charges, including “membership in groups opposed to the state” — an accusation frequently used by Iranian regime authorities to suppress dissidents.
No court hearing has yet been held for Khaleghi, and her legal status remains unclear.
The ongoing detention without access to legal counsel or a fair trial is a serious violation of her fundamental rights as a political detainee.
