Another Activist Arrested in Iran
December 2nd, 2007
The women’s rights’ activist Jelveh Javaheri (جلوه جواهری) was arrested today by the Revolutionary Courts. She was summoned to the court today and was arrested on charges of disrupting the public opinion, anti-regime propaganda, and spreading false news. Javaheri is a sociology graduate student and has been active in women rights’ groups for a long time. Her activities included writing articles as well as translation of related material.
Javaheri was amongst the activists who were arrested last March after their calm protest was disrupted by the Police (see: Police Violence in Iran against Activist Women). She will join Maryam Hosseinkhah, another activist who has been in the infamous Evin Prison for about two weeks now (see: Activist Woman Arrested) [Persian].

That is awful! Sorry to hear about this. I hope that someone is at least campaigning for her release.
It’s so saddening to see a new picture of some arrested nearly every second day!
It’s even worse knowing that no matter what people do; it’s never enough to help set them free.
Arash, it is really saddening, and it makes me furious and scared at the same time, What do you think we can do as Iranians inside the country, to help these activists? I don’t want to be arrested myself, because I have two kids, but I really like to do some thing, some thing to help our activists out of the jails..
