Armita Pavir was arrested on September 21, 2023, and is currently in the Central Prison of Tabriz under mental torture and severe restrictions. She has denied the charges brought against her but has refused to express remorse to receive amnesty.
The student activist at Tabriz University was tried in absentia, without the right to a lawyer of her choice and due process. Armita Pavir went on a dry hunger strike, refusing to eat food and liquids on January 27. She started drinking liquids, refusing to eat food on February 1.
On the 17th day of her hunger strike, she told her family in a phone call from Tabriz Prison that she “would not back down even at the cost of her life.” “I also told the judge that in the 750 pages in my dossier, you cannot accuse me of publishing lies, because all my words are documented and true,” she told her family.
According to Ghasem Baddi, a lawyer in Tabriz, “Based on the audio file that came to us exclusively from Armita Pavir, prison authorities are trying to transfer her to the Razi (psychiatric) Hospital. Also, a group of women in Tabriz prison have joined Armita’s hunger strike.”
Armita Pavir was arrested on October 31, 2022, during the nationwide protests and was released on bail on December 8.
