Iran stepped up surveillance following nationwide women-led anti-establishment protests.
Follows the death in police custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini , who was arrested for allegedly not wearing her hijab properly.
Alef posted a photo on social media revealing her hair flowing freely in public.
But the picture was seen by the authorities, which were trying to crush the protests, and Alef was arrested.
She says she was blindfolded, handcuffed and taken to an unknown location where she remained in solitary confinement for nearly two weeks .
She was charged with, amongst other things, “appearing in public without a hijab”.
Iranian authorities have stifled protests and what they consider to be subversive activities for years .
They have shut down the internet many times and reportedly used phishing techniques to hack phones and access people's data.
The FFMI told the BBC “no-one should be jailed for a peaceful post online”.
