Samaneh Asghari, a student at Kharazmi University, has begun serving her one-year prison sentence at Evin prison.

Esmaeil Nazari, Asghari’s spouse, publicly announced, “Today, April 3rd, my wife went to the Courthouse in Shahre Ray to begin serving her sentence at Evin prison.”

Asghari was arrested by security forces at her residence in Tehran on September 14, 2023, and later released on bail from Qarchak Prison in Varamin on October 4, 2023.

In December 2023, the Revolutionary Court sentenced Asghari to one year in prison, a ruling upheld by the Appellate Court of Tehran.

It’s important to note that Asghari was previously detained in connection with nationwide protests in October 2022, initially receiving a sentence of 18 years and three months. However, she was pardoned under the general amnesty and commutation directive, leading to her release from Qarchak Prison in April of the current year.
