Iranian Woman With Cancer Detained Again

Sama Amoushahi, a resident of Isfahan who was detained last year, has been arrested again by the Iranian security forces. 

According to the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Amoushahi was taken from her home during a raid by security forces in the early hours of Saturday, May 25. She has since been transferred to an unknown location.

Amoushahi, who suffers from thyroid cancer, now faces a severe health risk due to her lack of access to essential medications. 

Her latest detention raises significant concerns about her well-being, given her medical condition.

Amoushahi's previous arrest took place on July 11, 2023. 

She was subsequently held in Dowlatabad prison in Isfahan and charged in a case processed by Branch 13 of the General and Revolutionary Courts of Isfahan. 

After spending over a month in detention, she was released on bail on August 14, 2023, pending the completion of legal proceedings.
