Women's rights activist Nahid Taghavi returned to Germany after more than 4 years in custody in Iran late on Sunday, her family and Amnesty International announced early on Monday, APA reports citing DW.
According to Amnesty, she was tortured and put in solitary confinement, spending more than 1,500 days in jail in Iran.
"It's over. Nahid is free! After more than 4 years as a political prisoner in the Islamic Republic of Iran my mother Nahid Taghavi was freed and is back in Germany," Taghavi's daughter Mariam Claren wrote online, posting an image of her and her mother at an airport.
Taghavi was arrested in October 2020 on a visit to Iran.
