Allegations of arbitrary arrest and detention of a woman human rights defender and
member of the Council for Defence of Educational Rights in Iran. According to the
information received, on 24 October 2014, Ms. Mehdieh Golrou was arrested after her
participation in a peaceful protest on 22 October 2014 to denounce a series of acid
attacks against women in Ispahan. She was taken to Evin Prison, where she was held
in solitary confinement for 60 days, before being moved to another cell. While Ms.
Golrou is yet to be charged, her case has been referred to Branch 15 of the

always attended by interrogators, Ms. Golrou has not been allowed to consult with the
defence lawyer appointed by her family.
