Azam and Akram Daneshvarkar, two sisters of executed political prisoner Akbar Daneshvarkar, were transferred from Qarchak Prison in Varamin to an undisclosed location on Thursday, May 7.
Since their transfer, the two political prisoners have had no contact with their families, intensifying concerns among relatives over their condition and whereabouts.
Akram Daneshvarkar, 54, and her sister Azam were arrested on April 18 after repeatedly visiting Ghezel Hesar Prison, the forensic medicine office, and judicial authorities to seek the return of their brother’s body. Following their arrest, they were transferred to Qarchak Prison in Varamin.
The Iranian regime’s judiciary has accused the two sisters of “assembly and collusion against internal security” and “disrupting public order.”
Akbar Daneshvarkar, a political prisoner affiliated with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, was executed at Ghezel Hesar Prison on March 30.
