The Iranian Resistance has obtained new information on the whereabouts of Arghavan Fallahi, a 25-year-old woman, and three other political prisoners affiliated with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), who are currently being tortured to extract forced and fabricated confessions related to the assassinations of the clerical regime’s executioners, the notorious judges, Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini, on January 18, 2025.
Arghavan Fallahi, the only woman among the four detainees, was arrested on January 25, 2025, at her home in Parand (Tehran) and taken to Ward 241 of Evin Prison, run by the Judiciary’s Intelligence Protection Unit. After enduring nearly five months in solitary confinement, she was transferred to a solitary cell in Fashafouyeh Prison (a.k.a. The Greater Tehran Penitentiary) following the bombing and evacuation of Evin. She remains isolated and under intense psychological and physical pressure.
Arghavan’s case is being handled by the notorious Judge Iman Afshari at Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court—part of a judiciary apparatus known for targeting PMOI supporters and political activists with harsh sentences and systematic abuse.
This is not the first time Arghavan Fallahi has experienced state repression. She was previously arrested during the nationwide protests in November 2022 alongside her father, Nasrollah Fallahi, a political prisoner from the 1980s who is also currently incarcerated in Fashafouyeh.
The three other detainees—Bijan Kazemi, Amirhossein Akbari Monfared, and his father Mohammad Akbari Monfared—have also been subjected to solitary confinement and torture. Intelligence agents accuse them of involvement in the deaths of Moghiseh and Razini. The regime is using brutal interrogations in an attempt to construct a narrative through forced confessions.
The Iranian Resistance has urgently called on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Human Rights Council, and the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran to intervene immediately to save Arghavan Fallahi and her fellow political prisoners. Their lives are in grave danger.
