Saba Azarpeik
2014 arrest
On 28 May 2014, Iranian security forces arrested Azarpeik at the Tehran offices of Tejarat-e-Farda, a pro-reform weekly where she had been working.[1]
She is reportedly being held in Ward 2-A of Evin Prison and has been charged with "propaganda against the state" and "dissemination of falsehoods."[2]
After 85 days in prison -solitary confinement-, on 20 August, she finally released on bail.[3]

gollark: I look at statuses a lot, I just mostly don't actually care.
gollark: I mean, I can replace Discord servers much more easily than family.
gollark: I'm okay with people being basically whatever as long as they do not start wanting particularly special treatment for it.
gollark: You could just be not on them, if they're that bad.
