According to reports by Hrana and the Free Union of Iranian Workers, Nahid Khodajo, a labor activist, was arrested at her friends’ home in Fardis, Karaj, on Wednesday noon, February 21, and was transferred to Evin Prison to serve her five-year prison sentence.
Ms. Khodajo was arrested on May 1, 2019, during a Workers’ Day rally in front of the Parliament building and was released on bail a month later. However, in August of the same year, she was sentenced by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court to six years in prison and 74 lashes for assembly, collusion, and disturbing public order and peace. This sentence was upheld in the appeals court, with five years of it being enforceable.
