Farideh Moradkhani, a civil rights activist detained at the Tehran Correction and Rehabilitation Center, has been sent on medical leave.
According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, Ms. Moradkhani, who has been in prison since January 2022, was sent on medical leave on bail on Thursday, February 29th, 2024.
While on medical leave, she is unable to communicate or meet with her family members.
Ms. Moradkhani was previously arrested on January 13th, 2022, by the Ministry of Intelligence agents and transferred to Evin Prison’s Ward 209.
In April 2022, she was released on bail with conditions, including a ban on civil activities, communications, and leaving Tehran.
Ms. Moradkhani ultimately returned to prison in December 2022 to serve her 15-year sentence, which was issued by the Clerics Special Court.
It is worth mentioning that Mohammad Hossein Aghassi, a judicial attorney, was not accepted in this case because he was not a cleric.
Additionally, a request for a review of the sentence has been accepted with Ms. Moradkhani’s signature, confirming three years of her conviction.
