Narges Hosseini was the second girl on Enghelab Street who climbed up an electrical box after Vida Mohad and waved her hijab in protest against 'mandatory hijab'. She was arrested on the same day of the protest and was eventually released on bail of 60 million tomans on February 18. Her court session took place on March 5 without a verdict being issued. The charges against her were explained, and the judge heard her final defenses. In her interview with Radio Farda, Narges Hosseini mentions her bail of over half a billion tomans and points out that this high bail was likely intended to intimidate her into expressing regret. However, Narges Hosseini states, 'I have no regrets.' She is satisfied with the treatment she received during the trial and believes that her potential sentence will relate to 'pretending to commit a forbidden act' and 'not observing the legal hijab', which would be under Article 638 of the Islamic Penal Code and not be severe. She notes that the charge of 'encouraging corruption' was not thoroughly discussed in court.
