VOA NEWS    |    May 20, 2019

Women’s rights activist Nahid Shaqaqi was arrested at home on Wednesday, May 15, 2019, and transferred to an unknown location.

Security forces broke into her house and brutalized Nahid Shaqaqi and took her away to an unknown location.

The brother of Nahid Shaqaqi wrote in his Instagram, “Nahid called me this morning, and told me that Intelligence agents are behind her door. But when I arrived at her residence, I saw that the door had been broken and her home had been left unattended. We have no information yet on her place of detention and even the nature of persons who have arrested her. We have followed up with the Evin Prison and the police station in her neighborhood, without obtaining any answers. We remain uninformed and concerned.”
