"Meeting" is a brief 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. Vahid Seyyadi Nasiri is a 36-year-old political prisoner held in Ward 4 of Evin Prison, which is designated for non-political prisoners. He is self-employed and, according to his family, has had no political activities. Vahid was arrested by security forces in October 2015 and was sentenced to a total of eight years in prison by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court on charges of propaganda against the regime, insulting religious sanctities, and insulting the leader of Iran. His family claims that the basis for these charges was his activities on social media. After one and a half years, his sentence was reviewed and ultimately reduced to 30 months due to a Nowruz pardon.
