"Meeting" is a short narrative about those whose lives are confined to a four-walled space called prison. In each segment of this program, we visit one of those who are referred to as 'political-prisoners' by human rights organizations. Nima Safar Saflaei is a 50-year-old civil activist, poet, and writer currently serving his sentence in Amirabad Prison in Gorgan. He has been sentenced to 80 days for charges of acting against national security and spreading falsehoods. Nima Safar was arrested in Azar 1394 (December 2015) along with his writer friend Roozbeh Gilasian by the intelligence agents of the IRGC in Gorgan. At that time, the Iranian Writers' Association and several journalists and literary figures called for the release of these two writers. Nima Safar was released on bail after a month but was later sentenced to two years in prison by the first branch of the Revolutionary Court in Gorgan, presided over by Judge Hojjatollah Ghorbani.
