Detention Order for Hossein Shandizadeh, Translator and Editor, Extended

Abbas Shandizadeh announced on Thursday via the social media platform 'X' that the detention order for his brother, Hossein Shandizadeh, a translator and editor, has been extended. Abbas Shandizadeh shared a post on 'X' about their visit with Hossein and wrote that the detention order for this social media activist, who was arrested last month in Ardabil, has been extended, but he is allowed to meet twice a month. Ten days ago, Abbas reported that his brother had been transferred from solitary confinement to a shared cell in prison and stated, 'Hossein has not yet been allowed to enter the general ward.' On Sunday, July 1, he announced the news of his brother's phone call with their mother, writing on his account on 'X': 'Since Hossein has not yet gone to the general ward, we believe he is still under investigation.' Abbas also added, 'Hossein informed that he is guaranteed one phone call per week and the possibility of a cabin visit within the next two weeks.' Hossein Shandizadeh was arrested in mid-June while traveling to Ardabil, and the judiciary of the Islamic Republic has accused him of 'connections with high-ranking Mossad officers,' 'insulting sacred beliefs,' and 'attempting to leave the country.' All these accusations have been denied by his relatives. Before his arrest, Hossein reacted to a note without a period at the end on Ali Khamenei's account on 'X' by leaving just a 'dot,' which users liked far more than the Supreme Leader's writing. Abbas Shandizadeh's account of his brother's 'heartbreaking' phone call with their mother continues the uncertainty regarding Hossein Shandizadeh's case, the imprisoned editor. Hossein Shandizadeh is imprisoned in Tehran and does not have access to a lawyer. The accusations are solely for a 'dot'; the Islamic Republic's judiciary claims Hossein Shandizadeh had connections with Mossad. The family of Hossein Shandizadeh is concerned about the attribution of 'heavy accusations'; Hossein Ronaghi stated: 'This dot will remain the headline forever.' Confirmation of the news of Hossein Shandizadeh's arrest; this translator and editor's contact with his family: 'I will come in two or three days.'
