As of the time of this report, there is no information available about the whereabouts and condition of this student.

The report states that her arrest occurred following the entry of security forces into her residence, and her family and fellow students are unaware of her fate and the conditions of her detention.

Simultaneously, a Telegram channel known as "Nokhsa," self-proclaimed forces of the Islamic lands, has published an image of a soda bottle, claiming that Parnian Khodabakhshi was arrested for bringing the Lion and Sun flag into the university. The publication of the soda bottle image and the use of the hashtag "Pure Jihadi" by some social media users have been interpreted as an open threat of violence and sexual assault.
