And the arrests continue
Iranian human rights activist and documentary filmmaker Mahnaz Mohammadi was arrested Sunday in Tehran, Iran. The opposition website Kaleme reported that the reasons for her arrest were “unknown.”
This is Mohammadi’s second arrest. The first was in 2009 as she laid a wreath on the grave of Neda Ahga-Soltan, a young woman who was shot while peacefully protesting the reelection of Ahmadinejad.
Maryam Majd, a campaigner for rights for women in Iran was also arrested on Friday, and is being held in Evin prison.
While the Islamic Republic flaunts its missiles to the world, it continues to perpetrate human rights violations against its own citizens.
