Negin Aminzadeh, a prominent filmmaker from Shiraz, has been arrested by agents of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence amid a new wave of detentions following the ceasefire between Iran and Israel. She has been transferred to Detention Center No. 100 in Shiraz.

According to information received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Aminzadeh was taken into custody on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, after plainclothes agents from Intelligence Forces raided her home.

Sources close to the case report that the agents also confiscated several of her personal electronic devices, including her mobile phone, laptop, flash drives, and camera memory cards.

This is not the first time Aminzadeh has been targeted by security forces. She was previously arrested at her workplace—the Karnameh Institute in Shiraz—during the “ Woman, Life, Freedom ” (Jin, Jian, Azadi) protest movement.

No official information has been released regarding the reasons for her arrest, the charges she may face, or her current condition.
