an update to my previous post :
February 3, 2009: Security Officials from the Special Security Branch of the Office of the Prosecutor of the Revolutionary Courts stormed the home of Nafiseh Azad and seized her personal property as well as the property of her housemates. During this search and seizure operation officials violently beat Elnaz Ansari, another member of the Campaign and Nafiseh’s housemate and beat and handcuffed Vahid Maleki (Nafiseh’s husband). see more including photos here:
Nafiseh was arrested while collecting signatures for the One Million Signatures Campaign at a hiking trail in Tehran,
Another Iranian women's rights activist, Alieh Eghdamdoust was arrested recently and taken to prison to start a three-year jail term. Here is a link to news about her in Reuters.
