Overview
- Mohammadi’s foundation and relatives say security forces violently arrested her at a seven‑day memorial for lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, with family alleging she was beaten and dragged by the hair.
- Mashhad governor Hasan Hosseini confirmed some participants were detained as a preventive measure, without naming detainees or addressing reports of violence.
- Several activists were also seized, including Sepideh Gholian, with rights groups reporting transfers to an undisclosed location and no official disclosure of Mohammadi’s status.
- Verified footage circulated by rights outlets shows Mohammadi addressing mourners without a headscarf and leading chants, including references to Majidreza Rahnavard.
- The memorial followed Alikordi’s disputed death, which has prompted calls from more than 80 lawyers for transparency, as the Nobel Committee condemned Mohammadi’s arrest and urged her immediate release.
