Iran reformist party calls for Azar Mansouri’s release

The Islamic Iran Nation’s Union Party called for the release of its secretary-general, Azar Mansouri, following her arrest alongside other Reform Front members amid a wave of detentions aimed at suppressing protests after recent unrest. Notable figures such as Ebrahim Asgharzadeh and Mohsen Aminzadeh were also arrested, with unclear charges. The judiciary has accused certain political figures of supporting foreign adversaries, while the Reform Front has historically criticized government actions. Mansouri, who became secretary-general in 2021, leads a party that emerged from the banned Islamic Iran Participation Front.
