Nationality

@Rhumidian: It is clear she is not Iranian! Munifi3nt (talk) 15:00, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Munifi3nt:I had a look and the nationality in iran changes after marriage(see article 6.), so by this point she is an iranian citizen. This upgrades her nationality status from her previous to her current, which happens to be iranian.Hope that clears things up.Rhumidian (talk) 15:05, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhumidian: !!! But this makes the readers become confused like me! Is it OK to write "Iranian (after marriage)" or something like that? Munifi3nt (talk) 15:17, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Munifi3nt: Follow this guide.EDIT:Fixed see article.Rhumidian (talk) 15:25, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything I should do?

Mardhiah and Marzieh

Is it the same name? Because the article is using (mostly) Mardhiah, while ALL the references are using Marzieh. Did she change her name twice, is one of these an error, does she have two names? --Enyavar (talk) 15:02, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The names are the same (مرضيه). Mardhiah is the original pronunciation of the name in Arabic while Marzieh is the variant in Persian, the language spoken in Iran (Mostly because Iranian people pronounce Ḍād like z in English). Pahlevun (talk) 15:36, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks for the info. Since her name is in Farsi and she lives in Iran, we shouldn't bother with the Arabian version, right? Move article to Marzieh Hashemi and explain in the "conversion" section - essentially what you explained to me above. --Enyavar (talk) 16:18, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Pahlevun (talk) 17:13, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged arrest - in our own voice

Press TV is not a reliable source. Actual WP:RSes are reporting that Press TV, her son, as well as Iranian officials (in various permutations) have said she has been arrested - e.g. Guardian, CNN, BBC. As of yet US authorities have declined to comment on the possible arrest, and reliable media seems to not be taking sides. Given this situation - we should attribute her alleged arrest to the sources making this claim. Icewhiz (talk) 14:05, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree entirely. The claims about the forced removal of her hijab and the rejection of her dietary requirements as a Muslim are serious issues and should only be removed if they are definitively found to be false by reliable sources. Comparable confirmed incidents, like the desecration of the Qu'ran, have been considered to be cases of torture in the recent past. Philip Cross (talk) 14:18, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note - at this time the US authorities are confirming she's being held as a material witness (e.g. see CNN) - so we can say she was detained in our own voice as there appears to be no disagreement over that specifically (claims regarding hijab and other alleged mistreatment - still Iranian claims).
