Concerns Over the Condition of Saeed Razavi Faqih

A family member of Saeed Razavi Faqih, a journalist and political activist imprisoned, told Radio Farda that while the physical condition of this political prisoner is very poor and his sentence has ended, he is still being held in prison. Saeed Razavi Faqih, a former member of the Central Council of the Office for Strengthening Unity, was sentenced to one year in prison by the Tehran Revolutionary Court for security offenses after speaking at a meeting in Hamadan following the 2009 election events. He had gone abroad but was transferred to Rajai Shahr Prison in March 2014 upon returning to Iran to serve his one-year sentence. Masoud Razavi Faqih, referring to his brother's heart disease, stated that if anything happens, the prison authorities and the judicial system are responsible. Masoud Razavi Faqih also emphasized that although his brother's sentence ended on March 1, he is still in prison. The treatment of prison officials and the transfer of Saeed Razavi Faqih to the hospital in handcuffs and shackles are other complaints from Masoud Razavi Faqih.
