On the allegation of “propaganda against the state,” the Revolutionary Court of Dezful condemned University Professor Arezoo Rahimkhani and her husband, Ramin Biranvand, to a year in prison.
On June 29, 2021, agents from Khuzestan’s Abolfazl al-Abbas Security Garrison arrested the university professor and her husband at their home in Andimeshk and transferred them to an unknown destination. At the time of their detention, IRGC Intelligence agents raided their home.
The couple had reportedly scattered flower petals on the graves of the victims of the 1981 mass executions in Andimeshk.
The couple was provisionally released on July 27, 2021, pending the outcome of their case.
Arezoo Rahimkhani was a professor at the Azad University of Andimeshk until she was fired in mid-January 2022. In the summer of 2021, the university had already terminated the income of university lecturer Arezoo Rahimkhani.
