Overview

  • Mohammadi’s foundation said on X that security forces violently seized the 2023 Peace Prize laureate during a memorial service on Friday.
  • Her French lawyer confirmed to AFP that she was detained, and her husband said activist Sepideh Gholian was also taken at the event.
  • The gathering honored human-rights lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, a defender of political prisoners who was found dead in his office last week.
  • The U.S.-based HRANA group shared images of Mohammadi at the ceremony without a headscarf as attendees chanted anti-government slogans.
  • Mohammadi, 53, has been on conditional medical release under a travel ban and passport denial, and reports of additional arrests at the memorial have not been independently verified.
