Golbon Fallah was detained for her religious belief and activity.
On August 31, 2022, authorities arrested 14 Baha'is, including Fallah, in Mazandaran province under unclear circumstances. 13 out of the 14 arrested were described as "youth." A majority of the arrests reportedly occurred at a private home where those arrested had been studying and discussing the role of education in social progress.
In September 2022, it was reported that Fallah was released.
In July 2023, it was reported that the Ghaemshahr Revolutionary Court sentenced Fallah to two years and one month in prison on allegations of engaging in “educational activities and propaganda at variance and against Islamic Sharia law.”
In November 2023, Branch 9 of the Mazandaran Court of Appeal reduced Fallah's sentence to a 50-million-toman fine.
