Woman arrested in Ardabil, whereabouts remain unknown

Hengaw: Wednesday, November 6, 2024 

Eight days after the arrest of Sahar Mamizadeh, a 29-year-old Turkish woman from Ardabil, security forces have yet to provide any information regarding her whereabouts or condition. 

According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Mamizadeh was arrested by agents from Intelligence department on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at her home. Since then, her current location remains undisclosed. 

A source close to the situation reported that intelligence agents, disguised as postal workers, approached Mamizadeh’s home to carry out her arrest.

Her detention is linked to a protest post she shared on social media, in which she voiced opposition to the continued detention of Toomaj Salehi on the second anniversary of his arrest.
