Former prisoner of conscience Arash Sadeghi has been held in Tehran’sEvin Prison since 6 September. He is believed to be in solitary confinement without access to a lawyer and he has yet to be charged. He may be at risk of torture or other ill-treatment.
Arash Sadeghi was arrested on 6 September at his workplace in Tehran. He has since been held in solitary confinement in Section 2A of Tehran’s Evin Prison, without access to a lawyer.
Amnesty International understands that Arash Sadeghi has not been charged and the authorities have refused to tell his family about his situation or why he was arrested.
Arash Sadeghi was first arrested in July 2009 for taking part in demonstrations that followed the disputed presidential election.
It is feared that Arash Sadeghi was arrested in connection with his critical posts on Facebook about the authorities, and interviews he had given to the media about his experience in detention.
Arash Sadeghi may require medical attention for injuries he says he has sustained from torture and other ill-treatment, including a dislocated shoulder.
Additional information by AI indicates that he was told by his interrogators to “confess” in front of their film camera that he had links with the outlawed People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran.
