Jafari-Mehr is a writer and literary critic at J, a Germany-based Kurdish-language magazine. She was arrested on November 23, 2020 for alleged “propaganda” and “acting against national security” until her conditional release on December 9. In April and June 2021, respectively, a court acquitted Jafari-Mehr of “propaganda” and “membership in a terrorist organization.” Prosecutors have appealed her acquittal. The outcome of her case review is unclear.
