      Description

      The forces under Alireza Heidarnia’s command in Karaj IRGC intelligence organization, arrested 21-year-old Armita Abbasi on October 12, 2022, transferred her to the Azimieh detention centre, and subjected her to various tortures including rape.

      Armita Abbasi is currently in jail in Kachoui (Pardis) Prison and her trial is due to take place on January 28, 2023. The Alborz province judiciary has announced that she is accused of sharing calls for demonstration on social media and intending to blow up Basij and police stations with Molotov cocktails. The judicial authorities have so far denied her the right to have a lawyer of her choice.

      Although the authorities of the Islamic Republic have denied the allegations of sexual assault, Justice for Iran has sufficient evidence and documents to file a case of rape against the above-mentioned individual and the forces under his command.

      The 2022 nationwide protests in Iran broke out following the murder of Mahsa Amini in the custody of the Islamic Republic’s Morality Police on 13 September and have continued in various forms in different cities for more than three months. According to the reports by human rights organizations, at least 469 citizens, including 63 children and 32 women, have been killed by the law enforcement and security forces of the Islamic Republic.
