HRANA News Agency- Farzaneh Mohammadi Parsa, a political detainee, remains in a state of legal uncertainty more than 90 days after her arrest. She is currently being held in the women’s ward of Evin Prison.
According to information received by HRANA, Mohammadi Parsa has been in detention for over three months without formal charges or legal proceedings. After spending more than 40 days in the Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility, known as Ward 209 of Evin Prison, she was transferred to the prison’s women’s ward on February 11, 2025. Authorities have so far denied her release on bail.
A source close to the family confirmed to HRANA that her arrest was linked to her public protest against compulsory hijab laws in Tehran.
She was arrested on December 25, 2024, by security forces at her home in Tehran. The arrest reportedly involved physical assault.
According to earlier reports, Mohammadi Parsa had previously been detained over issues related to mandatory hijab and for sharing content discouraging participation in Iran’s presidential elections. She was released on that occasion after signing a written pledge.
To date, no formal charges have been announced against her.
Farzaneh Mohammadi Parsa is approximately 55 years old, a dentist by profession, and resides in Tehran.
