evin prison: It happened as she was about to board a plane to Ireland, where her daughter lives, according to CTV. Behkish said security agents did not tell her why they stopped her from boarding and took her passport at Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport on Sept. 16. Mansoureh Behkish, who been jailed several times for her past advocacy work, had her passport confiscated indefinitely and without explanation by authorities. She was told that in order to get her passport back she must report to Evin revolutionary tribunal court, located in the same complex as the notorious Evin Prison where she has several times been incarcerated for her human rights advocacy work. I am aware that resisting injustice and oppression has a price, and I am prepared for it. It is possible that, during the interrogation, they might arrest me, or threaten me with a heavier sentence, which I would strongly protest, Behkish wrote in an open letter.
