HRANA – Shima Ghosheh, a Tehran-based attorney, was arrested by security forces at her private residence on Friday, January 16, and transferred to an undisclosed location.

Her arrest was carried out by security forces on Friday at her home in Tehran. No information is currently available regarding the reasons for her arrest, her place of detention, or the charges brought against her. However, it is believed that her arrest may be related to the nationwide protests.

This attorney has previously faced judicial action in connection with her professional activities.

It is worth noting that protests and strikes by shopkeepers and bazaar merchants began in Tehran on Sunday, December 28, and after two days spread beyond bazaars and commercial centers. With the participation of students, citizens, and various social groups, these demonstrations developed into one of the most widespread protests in recent years.
