Roshanak Molaei, 25, posted surveillance video of her harassment by a man on a motorcycle, sparking a chain of events that led to her disappearance into police custody.

Summary

Roshanak Molaei, a 25-year-old Iranian woman, disappeared after being detained by police for defying Iran’s mandatory hijab laws.

Surveillance footage shows Molaei confronting a motorcyclist accused of harassment, and she was later summoned by cyberpolice over her social media post.

Molaei’s arrest has sparked international concern, as her whereabouts and condition remain unknown.

Previously arrested during the 2022 “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests, her case highlights ongoing oppression of women in Iran, despite claims of easing enforcement of hijab laws under President Masoud Pezeshkian.
