A woman who became the face of protests in Iran last December is the subject of a new social media campaign in the country.
Images of the woman, whose name remains unknown, defiantly taking off and waving her white headscarf - a punishable offence - in central Tehran were shared thousands of times during anti-establishment protests at the end of last year.
Now, Iranians are asking: Where is she?
On Monday, earlier reports that the female protester was arrested on 27 December were confirmed to BBC Persian by human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh, who added the protester is 31 years old and mother to a 20-month-old child.
Mrs Sotoudeh, herself a former political prisoner, was the first rights activist to reveal more information about the young woman.
"Our investigations confirm that the young woman, whose name we still do not know, was arrested on that very same day," she wrote on Facebook on Sunday, along with a picture from the same location where the woman was first arrested.
"She was released shortly afterwards but was arrested once again," Mrs Sotoudeh added.
****A tweet by Iranian-born Canadian blogger and secular podcast host Armin Navabi asking about the fate of the protester was liked more than 2,000 times and retweeted 2,000 times.***
