Mrs. Faroughi was arrested along with her two children on March 3, 2018, by intelligence agents at Tabriz Airport, upon return from Istanbul where she had visited her husband. They were taken to the detention center of the Department of Intelligence in Sanandaj.
Mrs. Faroughi’s children, Mohammad, 12, and Ala, 5, were released after three days.
