"Meeting" is a brief narrative about those whose lives are confined to a four-walled space called prison. In each segment of this series, we visit one of those who are referred to as "political-prisoners" by human rights organizations. Kamran Ghaderi is a 55-year-old Iranian-Austrian citizen who has been imprisoned in Iran for about two and a half years. His days and nights are spent in Evin prison, over four thousand kilometers away from home and family. Kamran Ghaderi holds a PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Technical University of Vienna and was active in sales and support for IT projects. The accusations against Kamran Ghaderi, similar to those previously announced regarding other dual citizens, include espionage and collaboration with an adversarial government. This accusation led to a 10-year prison sentence for him, which was later confirmed by the Supreme Court of the country.
