Nazila Maroufian, the protesting journalist, re-arrested; Rajanews declares her crime as 'clear norm-breaking'

Nazila Maroufian, a journalist who was released from prison on Sunday, was re-arrested on Monday after visiting Police Station 106 in Tehran to retrieve her mobile phone. Rajanews, a media outlet close to security agencies, reported: 'Nazila Maroufian, a soldier-journalist of the 'Women, Life, Freedom' rebels, who had recently been released, was re-arrested under a judicial order for clear norm-breaking.' It is said that Ms. Maroufian was arrested along with her mother and transferred to Qarchak Prison, where her mother has since been released, but she has been moved to the quarantine section of the prison under a temporary arrest order. Nazila Maroufian had been released from Evin Prison on Sunday after posting bail. Immediately after her release, right in front of the prison, she published a picture of herself without a headscarf on the X messaging platform (formerly Twitter). In this post, she shared a quote from 'one of the books she read in Ward 209 of Evin Prison,' stating: 'You deserve the best things, so do not accept slavery.' Nazila Maroufian was arrested last November by the Ministry of Intelligence after interviewing Amjad Amini, the father of Mahsa Amini, and was sentenced to two years in prison, a fine of 15 million tomans, and a five-year travel ban.
