On Thursday, June 13, still more relatives of PMOI members in Ashraf and Liberty were arrested by the suppressive forces of the anti-human clerical regime. Some of the arrestees are: 
- Mr. Mohammad Moezzi: brother to political prisoner Mr. Ali Moezzi currently held in Evin prison for his family relationship with Liberty residents.
- Mr. Allahverdi Rouhe: father to two Liberty residents. He had also been imprisoned from November 2010 until February 2012 solely for the same reason.
- Mr. Hamidi Maybadi: son in law to Mr. Rouhe. He had been previously imprisoned in Gohardasht for six months in 2010 solely because he has relatives in Ashraf.
- Mr. Mostafa Ghoslani and Ms. Azam Moeini: parents to a PMOI member in Camp Liberty. They also spent time in prison back in 2009 for their family relationship. 
Similarly in previous days, the clerical regime had arrested supporters of PMOI and families of Ashraf and Liberty residents. Ms. Fatemeh Ziaei Azad, Mr. Hassan Saremi and his two children of 24 and 26, and Mr. Mostafa Haddadi are among these arrestees. 
Mr. Hassan Saremi is brother to PMOI member hero Ali Saremi who was executed by regime’s henchmen in January 2011 at the age of 63 after suffering 24 years of imprisonment in the hands of the regimes of the Shah and mullahs.
