Mansureh Shojai, Talat Taghinia and Farnaz Seifi were arrested at Teheran’s Imam Khomeini airport on Saturday morning.

The three women were involved in a recent campaign dubbed ‘One Million Signatures’ aimed at changing Iran’s ‘discriminatory laws’ for women, by collecting signatures, online and in person.
