Iran Arrests Mother of Protester Slain in 2022 Protest Crackdown

Security forces of the Islamic Republic have arrested the mother of a protester killed during a crackdown on the 2022 uprising. 

Dayeh Goli, mother of slain protester Hiva Janjan, was arrested and had to endure six hours of interrogation, according to IranWire's sources. 

This interrogation was conducted without a judicial warrant and as part of ongoing efforts by the authorities to pressure victims' families.

In recent days, arrests and harassment of the families and mothers of those killed in the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising have intensified.

On Wednesday, Milad Mohammadi, the brother of Shahriar Mohammadi, killed during the 2022 protests, reported that security agents had raided his mother Dayeh Mina's residence.

With the second anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death in the custody of the morality police approaching, pressure on the families of those killed during the protests, as well as other petitioners' families, has increased.
