Akram and Azam Daneshvar-Kar, sisters of Akbar Daneshvar-Kar, an executed political prisoner, have been in detention for two weeks after being arrested by security forces and transferred to Qarchak Prison in Varamin.
Based on information received by HRANA, Akram and Azam Daneshvar-Kar, sisters of Akbar Daneshvar-Kar, the executed political prisoner, were arrested on April 18, 2026, after repeatedly approaching Ghezel-Hesar Prison, the forensic organization, and judicial authorities to retrieve their brother’s body. They were subsequently transferred to Qarchak Prison in Varamin.
The charges brought against Akram Daneshvar-Kar, 54, and Azam Daneshvar-Kar include “assembly and collusion against internal security” and “disrupting public order.”
Akbar Daneshvar-Kar, along with five other political prisoners, was re-sentenced to death in December 2025 by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari. Their death sentences had previously been overturned by the Supreme Court in July 2025, and their case was referred to a parallel court branch. His execution was ultimately carried out on March 30, 2026, at Ghezel-Hesar Prison.
