Death of a defendant with multiple records of collaboration with the Monafeghin Terrorist Group in hospital

Following certain claims raised in opposition media about a female inmate named S.R., investigations show that this defendant had been arrested in 2022 and 2023 on charges of connection with the Monafeghin Terrorist Group. She had been released by using legal provisions and benefiting from Islamic leniency, but once again reconnected with the group.

Six months after her conditional release, the defendant again established contact with the Monafeghin, and on April 25, 2025, while in possession of specific equipment during collaboration with the terrorist group, she was arrested.

After her arrest and the review of her online communications, it was revealed that the defendant had been receiving assignments from her contact within the terrorist group, and had sent photos and videos of her sabotage operations—such as setting fire to Basij bases and mosque entrances—via social media.

Upon the arrest of defendant S.R., a review of her background revealed that despite previously benefiting from Islamic leniency, she had again connected with her Monafeghin handler, received at least 10 missions, and was in the process of carrying out her operational tasks in Tehran.

Considering the defendant’s condition and her addiction to synthetic drugs, and based on the case details, the investigating judge immediately issued a bail order; however, the defendant’s family refused to provide bail for her release.

According to preliminary investigations, she had received sums of money from the terrorist group to carry out sabotage missions and had undergone training for disruptive actions, including arson. Reports also confirm that in addition to her addiction to synthetic drugs, she had a medical history of seizures, which was registered in her medical file upon admission to prison.

At the start of her imprisonment, the defendant reported both her addiction to synthetic drugs and her history of seizures, noting that she was taking psychiatric medication. Following her medical examination and the doctor’s prescription, her medications were provided to her, and she continued to take psychiatric medicine throughout her detention.

A review of the medical file of defendant S.R. shows that during her detention, she was examined 8 times by a general practitioner and 6 times by specialists in psychiatry and internal medicine, with all records documented in her medical file.

Because of her neurological and psychiatric conditions and history of seizures, the defendant also had a file with the Legal Medicine Organization and was sent there twice during her detention for evaluation.

On September 15, she was transferred to the prison infirmary with symptoms of nausea and seizures. After receiving initial treatment, she was sent to hospital for further care.

Despite being placed under specialized treatment following her transfer and the continuous efforts of doctors and medical staff, unfortunately, she passed away this morning after several days of hospitalization.
