"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 the individuals labeled as a "political-prisoner" by human rights organizations. He has been in prison for about 11 years, accused of moharebeh (waging war against God) through support for the People's Mujahedin of Iran, while his relatives claim he only went to Camp Ashraf once to meet a few family members. Mohammad Ali Mansouri is currently 58 years old. He was arrested on September 2, 2007, after participating in a ceremony at the Khavaran cemetery, which was held to commemorate those executed in the 1980s. He spent three months in solitary confinement without access to a defense attorney and was ultimately sentenced to 15 years in prison. The information in this audio file pertains to the time of its preparation, editing, and publication, and the status of the political prisoner in question may have changed since this report was made.
