Iranwire – Female singers from southern Behbahan were summoned by Revolutionary Guard intelligence officers, interrogated, and banned from artistic activities.
The women – Elaheh Ahadi, Mahsan Ehterami, Negin Mansouri Nejad, Azardokht Taherpour, Ramesh Seyed, Mojdeh Nasiri, and Zolfa Jamashiani – were called in for questioning on April 12.
Each singer underwent a body search by female officers before being interrogated for approximately two hours in separate rooms equipped with recording equipment, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA).
During questioning, they were reportedly asked about their political views and social media content. Some had their mobile phones inspected.
The women were required to sign commitments prohibiting solo singing, attending women’s gatherings, playing musical instruments, and publishing artistic content online.
They were told they could face legal action if they did not comply.
