– Warisheh Moradi is an Iranian journalist and women’s rights activist who has been imprisoned since December 2021.
– She was detained for her social media posts promoting feminism and women’s rights. Authorities accused her of propaganda against the Islamic Republic and insulting the country’s leaders.
– Her case has been repeatedly postponed, with the most recent hearing this week being pushed back to September 17th. This concerns her supporters who say her health is deteriorating in prison.
– Despite facing criminal charges and harsh prison conditions, Moradi has continued writing defiant notes and messages from behind bars defending women’s rights and calling for equality.
– Her lawyer says the continued delays in her trial show it is a politically motivated case rather than a legitimate legal proceeding. Activists worry she may receive a lengthy prison sentence if found guilty.
– Supporters are calling for Moradi’s immediate and unconditional release, saying she is a prisoner of conscience jailed solely for her activism and journalism. They see her case as part of a wider crackdown on women’s rights in Iran.
