News Center - While the Iranian regime keeps arresting students, activists, protesters and unionists, many reports have been received about violence and mistreatment against arrested people in prisons. Student activist Saha Mortezaee, former spokesperson of the student council at the Tehran University, was reportedly subjected to sexual assault and torture.

The Student Council has announced that Saha Mortezaee was subjected to sexual assault and violence while she was arrested. In the statement, the council stated that they would not disclose the details of the torture and sexual assault for ethical principles.

Saha Mortezaee was arrested during the protests in 2020 in Iran and sentenced to prison. She was released from prison on bail. She was arrested again this year and sent to Evin Prison, according to the council.
