On December 26, 2023, Vrisheh Moradi (Juwana Sena), a Kurdish women's activist, was transferred from ward 209 of Evin Prison to the women's ward of this prison after completing the interrogation stages.

This Kurdish women's activist has been deprived of access to a lawyer so far and has only met with her family once.

Ms. Moradi was transferred to the detention center of the Intelligence Department of Sanandaj after being arrested and after two weeks of interrogation for making forced confessions, she was transferred to ward 209 of Evin Prison at the end of August of this year.

Vrisheh Moradi was a member of the Free Women's Society of Eastern Kurdistan and this women's organization on Wednesday, September 25, issued a statement addressed to the public opinion, the special rapporteur on human rights of the United Nations in Iran, and international human rights organizations, stating that Vrisheh Moradi was present in Kurdistan for "carrying out political and organizational activities for women".

The Free Women's Society of Eastern Kurdistan emphasized: "Considering the enforced disappearance of our friend Juwana Sena by the forces of the Intelligence Organization of the Revolutionary Guards and the Ministry of Intelligence, we hold the Islamic Republic of Iran responsible for her life."

Also, this women's organization asked the public opinion, the special rapporteur on human rights of the United Nations in Iran, and human rights organizations to take the necessary actions regarding the disappearance of Vrisheh Moradi and the "scenario-making of the security institutions" against her.
