"Meeting" is a short narrative about those whose lives are confined within the walls of a prison. In each segment of this series, we visit one of those who are labeled as "political-prisoners" by human rights organizations. Abbas Lasani is a 51-year-old civil activist residing in Tabriz, a husband and father of three children, who has been arrested and imprisoned multiple times in recent years. He began his civil activities in the early 1990s and is a critic of the policies of the Islamic Republic. Lasani is a prominent writer in Tabriz, with posters and writings demanding his freedom plastered on the city’s walls. This civil activist was arrested again on January 15, and it is unclear whether the reason for his arrest is the enforcement of a previous sentence or a new case and accusation. The information in this audio file pertains to the time of its preparation, editing, and publication, and the status of the political and ideological prisoner in question may have changed since this report was made.
