Kurdish woman activist Viyan Mohammadi has been released on bail today from Orumiyeh Central Prison after 40 days in detention.

The civil rights activist had gone on a hunger strike for a week on 31 May to protest against the extension of her detention, and ended it after the decision to release her on bail was issued, sources told the Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN).

The activist’s husband, Faramarz Mohammadi, had been arrested in January in Tehran, during the wave of arrests of more than 120 Kurdish activists in various cities. He was transferred to the detention centre of the Intelligence Organisation of the IRGC in Sanandaj and was then temporarily released on a bail of 300 million Iranian Tomans – nearly 12,000 USD. With her husband’s arrest in January, Viyan Mohammadi was also summoned to the Intelligence Organisation of the IRGC in Sanandaj and was subjected to interrogation.
