Nayereh Behnoud, a political detainee, has been held in Evin Prison for over 70 days without resolution.

A source familiar with her case told HRANA: “Ms. Behnoud has been in detention for over 70 days. She faces charges such as ‘propaganda against the regime’ and ‘assembly and collusion against national security through membership in opposition groups.’ However, her case remains in limbo, and no court hearing has been held to address the charges against her.”

Behnoud was arrested by security forces in Tehran in late September 2024.

Following approximately one month of interrogation at The Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility in Ward 209 of Evin Prison, Behnoud was transferred to the women’s ward of the prison on October 21, 2024.
