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.
