Sara Sepehri, a Baha’i resident of Shiraz who has been in detention since April 9, 2026, has now spent 56 days in custody amid growing concerns about her deteriorating health. These concerns are particularly acute given her pre-existing medical conditions, including severe inflammatory eye disease and a history of gastrointestinal bleeding.
According to information received, Ms. Sepehri’s eye condition has worsened while she has been held in Adelabad Prison in Shiraz. Her treating physician has reportedly described her condition as serious and concerning. The report indicates that the physical and psychological strain associated with her detention may place her at risk of severe complications, including possible ocular hemorrhaging.
Although some medical attention has reportedly been provided following the deterioration of her condition, the care she has received is said to be inadequate to address her medical needs. Concerns have therefore been raised about her continued lack of access to the specialized and ongoing treatment her condition requires.
In addition to her own health challenges, Ms. Sepehri is the primary caregiver for her 80-year-old mother, who lives with a disability. Her continued detention has heightened concerns about the well-being of her family and her mother's care.
Meanwhile, nearly two months after her arrest, uncertainty continues to surround her legal situation. According to the information received, the questions posed during interrogations have reportedly been unrelated to the charges brought against her, while no clear justification has been provided for the continuation of her detention.
Against this backdrop, concerns are mounting over the potential consequences of keeping Sara Sepehri in custody without adequate medical care. Calls have been made for her access to necessary treatment and for urgent attention to be given to her health and well-being.
