Sara Gowhari, an Afghan student at University of Tehran was transferred from Intelligence Ministry’s detention center in Mashhad to Torbat-e Jam Prison.
Sara Gowhari, a 29-year-old Afghan citizen and sociology student at the University of Tehran, has been transferred from the Intelligence Ministry’s detention center in Mashhad to Torbat-e Jam Prison.
Her lawyer, Reza Shafakhah, announced in a statement: “My client contacted me from Torbat-e Jam Prison and informed me that she was recently transferred from solitary confinement in the Intelligence Ministry’s detention center in Mashhad to this prison.”
The case against this 29-year-old student, on charges of “propaganda against the state,” is currently under investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office in the city of Taybad (a city in North-Eastern Iran in Khorasan Razavi Province).
On July 6, 2025, while conducting independent research on the situation of Afghan migrants in the city of Taybad, Sara Gowhari was arrested by the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence.
This incident is yet another example of the Iranian regime’s ongoing policy of repression and intimidation targeting Afghan migrants in Iran.
