Maryam Mahmoodabadi, a 25-year-old citizen of Sirjan, was released from prison on Sunday after nearly five weeks in detention.

According to the human rights news agency HRANA, Mahmoodabadi was released on bail.

The Iranian judiciary had accused Mahmoodabadi of "producing and publishing vulgar images and works, insulting sacred things and spreading lies." 

She was arrested on May 14 during a raid by government forces on her family's home in Sirjan. 

For the first three weeks, she was held in solitary confinement by the IRGC Intelligence Corps in Kerman before being transferred to Sirjan prison.

In November 2022, she was detained for over a month, including stints in solitary confinement under the Revolutionary Guards intelligence and Kerman prison, after publishing a story about Nika Shakrami. 

She was temporarily released on bail then as well.
