On March 3, 2024, political activist Maryam Sadat Yahyavi commenced her one-year imprisonment following her appearance at Evin Courthouse. A reliable source close to Sadat Yahyavi’s family has verified her confinement in Evin Prison.
Sadat Yahyavi was initially arrested at her residence on November 2, 2014, by security forces. After 17 days of detention in Evin Prison, she was released on bail.
The Revolutionary Court of Tehran had previously sentenced Yahyavi to nine years on charges such as “spreading propaganda against the regime” and “assembly and collusion against national security” during her arrest on November 2, 2014. However, this sentence was later reduced to one year following an appeal.
It is noteworthy that Sadat Yahyavi has faced previous arrests and judicial confrontations due to her active involvement in political activism.
