Born in 1978 and a mother of one, Elaheh Fouladi was arrested on January 23, 2020, at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Airport and transferred to Evin Prison. After months of pretrial detention, she was sentenced by Branch 36 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Zargar, to eight years in prison on charges of “assembly and collusion through connection with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran” and “propaganda against the state.”
