After enduring approximately one year and one month of detention, 16-year-old Ehsan Mohammadi, a resident of Oshnovieh (Shino), and 20-year-old Shaho Barham have been released on bail. Both individuals were apprehended during the Women, Life, Freedom (Jin, Jiyan, Azadi) movement.
According to reports obtained by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Ehsan Mohammadi, aged 16 and hailing from Oshnovieh, was temporarily released from Urmia Correctional Center on Wednesday, November 1, 2023.
