It has been three months since the re-arrest of Arghavan Fallahi, a 25-year-old woman from Parand, and her family remains in complete darkness about her physical, psychological, and legal condition.
Arghavan Fallahi was arrested on January 25, 2025, by security forces at her residence and transferred to Ward 209 of Evin Prison, a detention facility under the control of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence.
Since her arrest, no official information has been released regarding her exact whereabouts, health status, or any legal proceedings.
Arghavan Fallahi suffers from a chronic medical condition and has been deprived of access to her essential medications since her detention. This matter has significantly heightened concerns about her well-being.
Her father, Nasrollah Fallahi, who is currently serving a prison sentence in Evin Prison, has no information about his daughter’s fate. The ongoing lack of communication regarding Arghavan’s condition has placed immense psychological pressure on the family and left her loved ones in a state of deep distress.
Arghavan Fallahi had been previously arrested in November 2022 along with 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 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.
