National-religious activists abroad have condemned the unconventional pressures on national-religious activists, particularly the detention of Hossein Rafiei, in a statement. This statement, referencing the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the West, emphasizes the promises made by Hassan Rouhani, the President of Iran, regarding the dominance of the political atmosphere over the security atmosphere, adding that 'it expresses regret that Mr. Rouhani's Ministry of Intelligence itself is one of the serious obstacles to the realization of this significant promise.' Hossein Rafiei, a member of the Council of National-Religious Activists and a retired professor at the University of Tehran, was arrested last week and transferred to Evin Prison. Radio Farda, in an interview with Ana Rafiei, Mr. Rafiei's daughter in Canada, initially asked her about his arrest and his situation in prison.
