The mother of justice-seeker Shahryar Mohammadi, one of the victims of the nationwide protests of 2022, has been summoned to the Criminal Court in Boukan on charges including not adhering to mandatory hijab and 'propaganda against the regime.' According to a report by the news agency 'Kurdpa' on Thursday, February 25, Mina Soltani has been summoned to Branch 101 of the Boukan Criminal Court for the charges of 'propaganda against the regime' and 'appearing in public spaces without proper hijab.' According to the issued notification, Ms. Soltani must appear in this court branch on Saturday, February 27. Previously, Voice of America reported that the mother of justice-seeker Shahryar Mohammadi was arrested in September 2023, on the eve of the anniversary of the nationwide protests following the death of Mahsa Amini while in the custody of the morality police in Boukan. Shahryar Mohammadi, a 28-year-old protester from Boukan, was killed on November 28, 2022, during the crackdown on nationwide protests by the Islamic Republic's forces. Pressure on justice-seeking families by the Islamic Republic in Iran continues, but government pressures have not been able to silence the seekers of justice, especially the mothers of the victims. In previous days, Kamelia Sajadian, the mother of justice-seeker Mohammad Hassan Torkaman, who was killed in the 2022 protests, emphasized in a video message coinciding with the anniversary of the 1979 Revolution: 'The only achievement of this revolution has been the development of cemeteries.' Additionally, Leila Mahdavi, the mother of justice-seeker Siavash Mahmoudi, also a victim of the 2022 protests, criticized the silence of the 'gray class' regarding economic issues in a video message, stating: 'Inflation is not just numbers on paper; when prices rise, the burden falls directly on the shoulders of the people.'
