"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. It tells the story of a journalist who has been detained for about six months, while neither the reason for her arrest has been announced nor has a court been established for her. Tahereh Riahi, the head of the social service department of the Borna News Agency, was arrested by security forces on December 28. She spent two and a half months in solitary confinement in Ward 209 of Evin Prison and is currently in Ward 240, where her detention order is extended month by month. The information available in this audio file relates to the time of preparation, editing, and publication, and the status of the political and ideological prisoner in question may have changed since what is heard in this program.
