Reports from Iran indicate a lack of information regarding the status of Nasrin Shakeri, who was arrested on Wednesday evening, October 25, in Khorramabad. Simultaneously, the Iranian security officials remain silent about the location and reason for Ms. Shakeri's detention, and her Instagram page has been taken down with all posts deleted. Aida Shakeri, Nasrin Shakeri's daughter, also announced on the social media platform 'X' on Thursday, October 26, that she has no information about the reason for her mother's arrest or the charges against her. Nasrin Shakeri is the mother of Nika Shakeri, a 16-year-old Iranian protester who was killed during the nationwide protests in the fall of 2022 following the death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of the morality police, and was reportedly 'subjected to government officials' sexual assault' before her death. Nika Shakeri is buried in the 'Hayat al-Ghayb' cemetery near Khorramabad. Over the past two years, the Islamic Republic has increased pressure on dissenters, particularly families seeking justice, and in some cases, has forced them to close their social media accounts or refrain from continuing their activities after their arrests.
