Committee of Human Rights Reporters

Writer and women’s rights activist Laleh Hassanpour was arrested on Tuesday March 16, 2010, after a raid on her home by security agents. She has been taken to an undisclosed location.

There is no report on the reason behind the arrest or the people responsible.

Laleh Hassanpour has been arrested while many political prisoners have been released in recent days. Tehran’s attorney general had also announced that some of those arrested in recent months would be released for Norooz (Iranian New Year).
