A Christian convert has returned to Evin Prison after four months’ medical leave.

Hannah Gholami, 36, returned to prison on 29 June, having been out on leave since shortly before the war.

Hannah is serving a two-year sentence on “national security” charges related to her involvement in a house-church.

The official charges against Hannah and three other Christian converts were “forming” and “membership” of a “group or association with the aim of disrupting national security”.

She began serving her sentence in November 2025, having been arrested in December 2023 and sentenced in July 2024, alongside the other three Christians: Daniel Mohammadi, 66, Afghan refugee Kourosh Hosseini, 45, and another unnamed convert.
