Aida Shakeri announced in a post on X that her mother, Nasrin Shakeri, has been arrested again. The website Dadban reported that Nasrin Shakeri, the mother of Nika Shakeri, was re-arrested while visiting the Central Intelligence Office in Khorramabad to retrieve her personal belongings. According to reports, the mother of the victim had previously been detained by security agencies and was temporarily released from Khorramabad prison on Saturday, December 10, on a bail of five billion tomans. At that time, Ali Omidi, Nasrin Shakeri's lawyer, mentioned the charges against his client, including 'insulting sacred values and spreading falsehoods with the intent to disturb public opinion,' 'propaganda against the regime,' 'inciting people to war and murder,' and 'insulting Ali Khamenei and Ruhollah Khomeini.' Nika Shakeri, a 16-year-old protester, was reportedly 'raped' and killed by Islamic Republic agents during the crackdown on the nationwide protests for 'Women, Life, Freedom.' Nasrin Shakeri is temporarily released on a bail of five billion tomans but has been deprived of her 'right to visit' for eight days after her arrest.
