Sediqeh Vasmaghi, an Islamic scholar, was returned to Evin Prison from the hospital.
Sediqeh Vasmaghi, an Islamic scholar critical of the Iranian government and opposed to mandatory hijab, was returned to prison from the hospital.
A source close to Ms. Vasmaghi told the BBC that her return to Evin Prison occurred despite the doctor’s insistence that she needs to undergo a cardiac angiography.
Ms. Vasmaghi was sent to the hospital yesterday after her condition worsened, showing symptoms of chest pain and high blood pressure.
Ms. Vasmaghi was arrested at her home in Tehran in late March 2024, with accusations including boycotting elections, publishing a photo without a headscarf, and expressing dissenting views on hijab.
