She was charged with “disseminating lies on social media, disseminating propaganda against the Islamic Republic, and disturbing public opinion.” Some reports indicate that Taheri was arrested because she disclosed an audio file in which a man assumed to be Mohammad Salas denies the charges against him. A Twitter account, which was supposedly in Taheri’s name, revealed the audio and declared that more documents would be published soon. In subsequent days, Zeynab Taheri announced that she has been told by Tehran’s Prosecutor Office to close all her accounts on social media, which she did.
