Nahid Taghavi
German-Iranian woman imprisoned in Iran
Nahid Taghavi (Persian: ناهید تقوی; born 1954) is a German-Iranian woman imprisoned in Iran. Iranian authorities detained her at her Tehran apartment on October 16, 2020, and transferred her to Evin Prison, where she is currently being held. On August 4, 2021, Taghavi's lawyer announced that she, as well as British-Iranian Mehran Raouf, had each been sentenced "to 10 years in prison for participating in the management of an illegal group and to eight months in prison for propaganda activities against the regime."
In June 2023, media reported that Taghavi's health was failing as she continued to be held in solitary confinement.
