On November 6th, Tasnim News Agency (TNA) reported that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) arrested individuals suspected of being “head of a women and girls' network, trafficking Iranian girls” and “supporting homosexual groups” in the West Azerbaijan Province of Iran. IranWire reported that the person IRGC arrested is an LGBTQ+ supporter named Sareh. This is not the first time Sareh has been arrested. Her first arrest occurred after she had interviewed with BBC Persian and discussed the current plight of the LGBTQ communities in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. Following the interview, she was detained by Iraqi-Kurdistan police for 21 days. After being released, Sareh decided to travel through Iran to then cross the Turkish border and seek asylum. A British human rights and LGBTQ+ advocate, Peter Tatchell, said Sareh's arrest indicates that the Islamic Republic of Iran still actively persecutes members of the LGBTQ+ community.
