Reports indicate that Leila Haqiqatjou, sister of Fatemeh Haqiqatjou, a representative in the sixth parliament, was arrested at her home on December 20 of this year, and her family has not yet received any information about the arresting authority or her place of detention. An informed source confirmed in an interview with Radio Farda that Banafsha Khani, Leila Haqiqatjou's mother, has requested her daughter's release in a letter informing about her arrest. According to the website 'Kalameh', Leila's mother wrote in the letter: 'My daughter Leila Haqiqatjou has been arrested without prior notice for more than two weeks. On the evening of December 20, when Leila and her 12-year-old son were home alone, they came to the house, confiscated Leila and her son's computer, mobile phone, and tablet, and took Leila away, leaving her son alone at home.' Ms. Banafsha Khani added: 'It is unclear which organization arrested Leila and for what crime. No information has been provided regarding the reasons for her arrest or the authority that detained her.' Leila's mother further stated: 'Leila is a PhD student in art history and a researcher and expert on artistic works at the Cultural Heritage Organization, and it is unclear why she has been arrested. Each time, with unrealistic promises regarding Leila's release, the family has been deprived of the opportunity to inform the public; therefore, I request through the media that judicial and intelligence officials be held accountable for their actions.' Ms. Banafsha Khani, expressing her ignorance about her daughter's place of detention, has called on the Iranian judiciary, the President, and the arresting authorities to release Leila Haqiqatjou as soon as possible. Leila's mother states that her daughter has contacted her husband 'two or three times' by phone but has not been able to express the reasons for her arrest or the conditions of her detention. Fatemeh Haqiqatjou was a representative in the sixth parliament from Tehran.
