Banafsheh Darolshafaei Released From Custody

Banafsheh Darolshafaei has been released from custody, her brother and prominent Iranian blogger Bahman reports.

Banafsheh, her older sister Jamileh, her cousin Yashar, and both of her parents (Abolhasan Darolshafaei and Safoura Tofangchihaa) were all arrested approximately one month ago on charges of a political nature. Shortly following their arrest, the sisters' mother was released, but Jamileh, Yashar, and Abolhasan Darolshafaei all remain incarcerated at present. Bahman expresses hope that Jamileh will be freed tomorrow, however.

The three siblings are second cousins to this blogger.
