On December 14, 2022, security forces arrested Shahla Jahanbin at Mehrabad airport in Tehran and took her to an undisclosed location.

An informed source close to her family told HRANA that “Jahanbin was on her way to Mashhad to see her husband, Vahedian Shahroudi. The intelligence agents arrested her at Mehrabad Airport at midnight. So far, she has not called her family, raising her family’s concerns.”

Jahanbin and her husband, Abbas Vahedian Shahroudi, faced other arrests and convictions for their civil activities.

On November 14, 2020, Jahanbin began her 27-month sentence in Evin Prison. On April 5, 2021, she was released early from prison following receiving an imprisonment intolerance certificate.
