TEHRAN (AFP) - Iranian authorities on Wednesday released on bail the prize-winning rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh following her latest arrest last month, her daughter said.
Sotoudeh was arrested at her home on April 1 as part of what activists say is a crackdown on civil society during Iran's war with Israel and the United States.

"Mum was temporarily released on bail a few hours ago," her daughter Mehraveh Khandan wrote on Instagram.
Sotoudeh, who has won awards including the 2012 Sakharov Prize from the European Parliament and the 2020 Right Livelihood Award, has repeatedly been arrested over her work in the past.
