She has been held without contact and in solitary confinement for two months. She is kept in poor physical condition and without adequate medical care for her cardiovascular illness. Her family has been subjected to serious security pressure whilst they have not heard from her, and her father’s shop in Mashhad has reportedly been sealed.
