IRAN - Dual Iranian-British national Nasrin Roshan conditionally released on May 20
May 20, 2025: May 20, 2025 - IRAN. Dual Iranian-British national Nasrin Roshan was conditionally released from Evin Prison on May 20.
HRANA has learned that her release took place earlier today under conditional terms from Evin Prison.
Ms. Roshan had previously been tried by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari. She was sentenced to four years in prison for “assembly and collusion” and eight months for “propaganda against the regime.” Her total sentence was later reduced to three years after she accepted the verdict.
A source earlier told HRANA that the charges against Ms. Roshan, who had lived in the UK for many years, stemmed from her participation in overseas protests related to the death of Mahsa Amini.
Ms. Roshan, aged around 62, was transferred to the women’s ward of Evin Prison on January 1, 2024, after being held in Ward 209—the Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility—for interrogation.
Security forces arrested her on November 16, 2023, at Imam Khomeini Airport while she was attempting to leave the country.
According to HRANA’s 2024 report, Iman Afshari, the presiding judge of Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, tops the list of human rights–violating judges in Iran, having issued at least 84 verdicts that constitute clear instances of human rights violations.
