A young woman named Roshanak Molaei Alishah, who hails from Tabriz in the East Azerbaijan Province of Iran, has recently been at the center of a disturbing incident that has sparked outrage and concern. The 25-year-old Turkish woman was identified as the victim in a video that has been circulating on social media platforms and has since been seen by many, including the Metro.
In the footage, which was taken from a CCTV camera, Roshanak can be seen bravely standing up to her attacker, who had ambushed her while she was walking on a street in Tehran. The incident occurred in broad daylight, and the motorcyclist can be seen harassing and assaulting her. She can be heard shouting and berating him for his actions, trying to push him off his bike.
However, what is particularly concerning about this incident is that Roshanak was not wearing a hijab, which is mandatory for women in Iran according to the strict laws of the Islamic Republic. This has led to her being detained by security forces, and her current whereabouts and well-being are unknown.
Reports from the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, a Kurdish NGO based in Norway, have revealed that Roshanak has a history of standing up for women's rights in Iran. In fact, she had previously been arrested and imprisoned for participating in a protest known as the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement. This was in response to the tragic death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in police custody.
According to the Center for Human Rights in Iran, Roshanak was detained on November 3rd after she posted the video of her confrontation with her harasser. Unfortunately, the video has since been deleted, and her social media account has been suspended. Her family has been desperately trying to find out where she is, but their efforts have been fruitless thus far.
It has also been reported that Roshanak has been summoned and interrogated multiple times by security agencies over the past two years due to her social media posts. In 2022, she was arrested during a protest for women's rights and was subsequently sentenced to six years and six months in prison. However, she was released after five months due to an amnesty grant.
The situation surrounding Roshanak's detainment and well-being is alarming and has sparked international concern. The fact that she is being punished for standing up for her rights and the rights of women in Iran is a clear violation of human rights. Hopefully, she will be released soon and justice will be served.
