HRANA – Nirvana Torbati Nejad, a resident of Gorgan, was arrested at her home by police forces on Saturday, June 27, and transferred to the Law Enforcement Intelligence Organization (Sazman-e Ettela’at-e FARAJA).
Based on information received by HRANA, police officers raided Nirvana Torbati Nejad’s home on the morning of Saturday, June 27, arrested her, and transferred her to one of the Law Enforcement Intelligence Organization’s facilities in Gorgan. Officers also seized the mobile phones of Torbati Nejad and her mother, Sayeh (Roqiyeh) Amirkhani.
A source close to the family confirmed the arrest to HRANA, stating that Torbati Nejad is scheduled to stand trial on July 21 in connection with a case opened against her last year. The source added that a new case has recently been filed against her, and she has been summoned to appear before a branch of the Gorgan Revolutionary Court on July 20 regarding those new charges.
In March, Branch One of the Golestan Province Court of Appeals sentenced her to pay a fine of 30 million tomans. In the same case, Branch One of the Gorgan Revolutionary Court had previously sentenced her to six months of discretionary imprisonment, a ruling that was later reduced to a monetary fine on appeal.
On February 22, 2026, Torbati Nejad was arrested by officers of the Golestan Province Public Security and Intelligence Police during the memorial ceremony marking the fortieth day after the death of Hossein Soleimani, one of those killed during the January 2026 protests, in Gorgan. She was released 16 days later on bail.
In a separate case, this political defendant had previously been tried on charges of “membership in groups opposed to the regime with the intent to disrupt national security” and “assembly and collusion to commit crimes against national security.” She was initially sentenced to 10 months in prison and a fine of two million tomans, but was ultimately acquitted of all charges on appeal.
Torbati Nejad was also arrested by security forces at her workplace on September 10, 2023, and was released on October 5, 2023, on bail pending judicial proceedings.
A hearing in one of Torbati Nejad’s earlier cases is scheduled to be held on July 20 before a branch of the Gorgan Revolutionary Court. She is also due to stand trial in another case on July 21.
