IRAN - Nirvana Torbatinezhad and her mother, Roqiyeh Amirkhani, arrested during a 40th day commemoration

February 22, 2026:

February 22, 2026 - IRAN. Nirvana Torbatinezhad (Nirvana Torbati-Nejad) and her mother, Roqiyeh (Sayeh) Amirkhani (Roghayeh (Sayeh) Amirkhani) were arrested during a memorial ceremony marking the 40th day since the death of Hossein Soleimani, a victim of the recent protests in Gorgan.

According to information received by Hengaw, agents from the intelligence office in Golestan province arrested the two women on February 22, 2026, and transferred them to an undisclosed location.

The arrests took place during the 40th-day memorial ceremony for Hossein Soleimani.

Nirvana Torbatinezhad had previously been sentenced in December by the revolutionary court to six months of discretionary imprisonment on charges of “propaganda against the state.” She had earlier been summoned by the intelligence organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on November 1, 2025, and interrogated for several hours.

Authorities have not disclosed the reasons for the arrest or any charges against them. Their current whereabouts, legal status, and any charges against them remain unknown.
