Besides her legal pursuits, Maryam had a passion for poetry and writing, and she even published a treatise titled “The Rights of the Accused in Legal Proceedings with a Jurisprudential Approach.” Furthermore, she served as a university lecturer in Sirjan and ran her own law office.
Even before the 2022-2023 nationwide uprising, Maryam’s manuscripts revealed her unwavering concern for the rights of women who faced discrimination in the education system and society. Ms. Arvin voluntarily championed the cases of the underprivileged, advocating for welfare children and child laborers.
According to her relatives, after the 2022 uprising started, Maryam was deeply disturbed by the images and news of girls and boys being killed or detained daily, and she experienced physical discomfort in her stomach.
Dr. Arvin provided counseling and support to the families of protesters detained in Sirjan.
Reports on social networks claim that Maryam Arvin engaged in a heated argument with the judge of the Revolutionary Court while defending a 15-year-old orphan boy who lacked the financial means to hire a lawyer. In response to the judge’s verdict, she asserted that the boy should have been sent to a correctional center rather than prison.
