During the protests in December across various cities in Iran, thousands were arrested, with Iranian officials not disclosing the exact number or names of those detained, and little information is available about the status and number of individuals still in custody. The Iran Human Rights Campaign reported that many of the recent detainees have been charged with 'Moharebeh' (waging war against God) and 'Efsad-e Fil-Arz' (corruption on earth), charges that, if confirmed in court, could lead to the death penalty. Additionally, there are reports of the beating of Atena Daemi and Golrokh Iraee in Evin Prison and their transfer to Qarchak Prison in Varamin. Amnesty International has expressed concern about the condition of a woman known as the 'Girl of Enghelab Street,' who is currently in detention. Furthermore, a five-year prison sentence was issued for Shamiram Eissou, an Assyrian Christian citizen in Tehran.
