Anisha Assadollahi , a labor activist currently serving her sentence in Evin Prison, has been denied visits with her family for over three months.
Since July of this year, she has been barred from seeing her family and her husband, Keyvan Mohtadi, due to her protests against the death sentences issued against Sharifeh Mohammadi and Pakhshan Azizi.
On August 6, 2024, Ms. Assadollahi was also deprived of telephone contact by the prison’s disciplinary committee following her protests against the execution of Reza Rasaei.
She was sent to Evin Prison in July of last year to serve her sentence.
The 26th Branch of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran sentenced Ms. Assadollahi to five years and eight months in prison in late May 2023. Tehran Province’s Revision Court later upheld this verdict.
Labor activist Anisha Assadollahi was convicted of “assembly and collusion” and “propaganda against the state” and sentenced to 5 years and eight months.
According to Article 134 of the regime’s Punishment Code, the maximum sentence would be implemented, which is five years for “assembly and collusion.”
On April 16, 2023, a hearing was convened at Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court to address the charges against labor activist Anisha Assadollahi. Subsequently, on the eve of International Workers’ Day, April 28, 2023, she was arrested along with several other trade union and labor activists by security forces at the residence of Mohammad Habibi, a prominent teachers’ union activist, and transferred to Evin Prison.
She was released temporarily on a 1-billion-Toman bail on May 8, 2023.
On June 18, 2019, twelve intelligence agents arrested labor activist Anisha Assadollahi on the street. She had just been released on bail after being arrested during the Labor Day demonstrations.
Anisha Assadollahi was among 15 women violently arrested on May 1, 2019, during a protest demonstration on International Workers’ Day. Some were taken to the Intelligence Ministry Ward 209 in Evin Prison, and others were transferred to the Qarchak Prison (Shahr-e Rey) in Varamin.
