Rahnavard has been under unofficial house arrest since February 2011 for her and her husband’s political activism in support of anti-government protests and women’s rights. No charges have been pressed against them and no official legal proceedings have begun. Activists in 2023 raised concerns about the couple’s health, suggesting possible abuse and foul play by the regime. She tested positive for COVID-19 in 2020 and was denied outside medical care.
