"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. Hassan Sadeghi is a 53-year-old resident of Tehran who is currently in Ward 10 of Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj. He had previously been imprisoned in the 1980s when he was only 17 years old. Sadeghi was charged in Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran with 'acting against national security and communicating with anti-regime groups' and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. His sentence was enforced in the winter of 2015, and he was detained and sent to Rajai Shahr Prison to spend 15 years of his life for an accusation that his family considers baseless.
