Mahsa and Mandana Sotoodeh: Two Baha’i Sisters Held in Indefinite Detention for Over 50 Days
Mahsa (25) and Mandana (38) Sotoodeh have remained in custody for over 50 days at Adelabad Prison in Shiraz. Arrested by IRGC intelligence in early April 2026, the sisters have been held without clear charges or access to legal counsel. Despite repeated inquiries, judicial authorities have refused to explain the reasons for their detention or grant bail. Held in separate cells, their ongoing ordeal is part of a systemic campaign of state-sponsored harassment against Baha’is in Iran, characterized by prolonged isolation and the deliberate denial of judicial transparency.
