As the crackdown on nationwide protests continues, six women who were arrested during demonstrations in Tehran were transferred to the women’s ward of Evin Prison on Wednesday evening, December 31, 2025, after spending one day in security detention facilities.
These women were detained amid widespread public protests in Tehran and, following initial interrogation procedures, were moved to Evin Prison. The identities of the six women have been reported as: Elnaz Kari, Negar Ghanbari, Helena Rostami, Masoumeh Nouri, Fatemeh Hashempour, and Aida (surname unknown).
In another development, a teenage girl named Razieh Khahesh was also arrested by security forces on December 31, 2025. According to reports, she was detained violently and is currently being held in Yasuj Prison.
The rising number of arrests of women and girls during the nationwide protests indicates escalating security measures and the systematic violation of protesters’ rights.
