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]
