Three Iranian women's rights activists arrested!

Tala't Taghinia, Mansoureh Shojaie, and Farnaz Seify, women's rights activists, journalists, and members of the Women's Cultural Center, were arrested at Imam Khomeini Airport in Tehran, while trying to leave the country to attend a journalism training session in New Delhi, India. After their arrest, security forces escorted the three activists to their homes, where their personal belongings, such as their books, computers and computer cases, were searched and seized. Having searched their homes, these three activists were transferred to Evin Prison, 209th Ward.
I condemn the arrest of these human rights activists and call upon the government to release them immediately.
