About a week after the arrest of Ali Moieni, a political and social activist in Isfahan, the charges against him remain unclear, and his family has expressed concern over their 'complete ignorance' of his situation. Ali Moieni, who was active in the campaign of Masoud Pezeshkian, a reformist candidate and winner of the recent presidential election, was arrested on August 20 when security forces stormed his home. The newspaper Shargh reported on Thursday, August 25, the statements of Mr. Moieni's parents, who, while unaware of his condition, stated that their inquiries have so far been fruitless. Mehdi Moieni, Ali's father, said: 'Today is the sixth day since my son was arrested at his home. During this time, he has had no contact with his wife or us. We have no information about his condition or where he is being held.' He added: 'During this time, we have also visited the prosecutor's office and the prison, but we have been unable to obtain any news.' Forough Baghbani, Ali Moieni's mother, also stated that the charges against him are still unclear to the family, saying: 'At the very least, he should be allowed to call or we should be told what the charges against him are. It is unacceptable for someone to be taken away with no news. My son always said that legal activism should be pursued. What kind of treatment is this for a promising young man like him?' Some journalists have reported that Ali Moieni is being held by the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; according to Shargh, his and his wife's electronic devices were confiscated during the arrest.
