Iran – Evin Prison, 27 October 2012. Zahra (Mahboubeh) Mansouri was detained and sent to the “Womens’ Ward” to complete her 2 year jail sentence. Zahra was arrested first on June 1st, 2011 and detained in Ward 209 for 2 months, and then released on bail. Zahra was then prosecuted on the usual charges of “acting against national security,” and sentenced to 5 years in prison, which was later reduced on basis of poor health to 2 years in jail and 5 years suspended imprisonment.
