Aida Najaflou is imprisoned for her religious conversion and activity.
In February 2025, Iranian authorities arrested Aida, a Christian convert, along with four other Christians for evangelism, prayer, and celebrating Christmas.
On October 21, 2025, Judge Abolqasem Salavati sentenced her to 17 years' imprisonment for “propaganda against the regime” and “acting against national security.” Najaflou, who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, cracked her T12 vertebrae from falling out of her top bunk in prison after her request for a lower bunk due to her health condition was denied.
