The uncertainty of "Aida Najaflou", a Christian citizen, in Evin Prison

Aida Najaflou, a Christian citizen, is still in limbo in Evin Prison four months after her arrest.

Aida Najaflou, a Christian citizen, was arrested by security forces in mid-February last year and transferred to Ward 209 of Evin Prison, which is under the supervision of the Ministry of Intelligence. She was transferred to the women's ward of Evin Prison on 14 April of this year (1404). 

Aida is a mother of two children, one of whom is ill, and in her mother's absence, in addition to the double pressure on the family, caring for her sick child has also faced very serious challenges. Aida also underwent lumbar disc surgery before being arrested by Ministry of Intelligence agents and requires regular medical care due to problems with her spine.

During his detention, he was not only deprived of necessary medical services, but this deprivation also exacerbated the pain and further physical injuries to his spine.

A very heavy bail of 11 billion Tomans has been set for Aida Najaflou's temporary release, but her family is unable to provide bail of this amount, which has resulted in her remaining in prison, while as of the time of writing this report, no official information has been released regarding the reason for her arrest or the charges against her.

The arrest of this Christian mother took place while Christianity is recognized in the Iranian constitution, but security agencies view the issue of Muslims converting to Christianity with particular sensitivity and have severe security and judicial dealings with them.

While Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion, and to change their religion and manifest it, whether individually or collectively, and the Islamic Republic is a signatory to these articles, it has so far acted contrary to what it pledged and signed. 

There are so many Christians who are in prison and their families are under pressure and repression by security forces, but no information about their arrests has been released and remains a secret, and their families are also being threatened by government institutions.
