The niece of Iran’s supreme leader has been arrested after calling on foreign governments to cut all ties with the Iranian government
Farideh Moradkhani, the niece of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been arrested after calling on foreign governments to cut all ties with the Iranian government. Moradkhani was arrested on Wednesday when she went to the prosecutor’s office in response to a court order, according to a tweet from her brother Mahmoud Moradkhani.
“What is urgently needed is not to support this regime that killed thousands of Iranians in four days in November 2019 while the world was only watching,” she added. Farideh and Mahmoud Moradkhani are the children of Ali Tehrani, a cleric and opposition figure who was married to the supreme leader’s sister Badri Hosseini Khamenei. Tehrani died last month.
