Simultaneously with the renewed summons of Ahmadreza Haeri, a political prisoner held in Qazalhesar Prison, to the first branch of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office in Karaj on charges of 'propaganda against the regime', an informed source told Voice of America that this 'case fabrication' is due to his disclosures about 'torture and executions'. An informed source on Wednesday, June 13, stated that following Ahmadreza Haeri's recent revelations about 'torture and executions' in Qazalhesar Prison in Alborz Province, pressures on this political prisoner have increased. According to this report, the first branch of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office in Karaj sent a judicial order to Qazalhesar Prison on Tuesday, June 12, requesting that prison officials send Ahmadreza Haeri 'with strict security measures' and 'under guard' to the prosecutor's office on June 15. According to a previous report by Voice of America, in late May, after Ahmadreza Haeri protested the 'critical condition' of imprisoned protest rapper Saman Yasin, prison officials transferred him to solitary confinement at the order of 'Sadat Rasoul, the head of prison security at Qazalhesar'. In recent months, Ahmadreza Haeri has informed about the conditions of several political prisoners in Qazalhesar Prison, including Saman Yasin, Ghasem Abasteh, and Ayoub Kariki, in letters. Previously, Ahmadreza Haeri criticized 'discrimination against prisoners' in a letter to Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, the head of the judiciary of the Islamic Republic, stating that 'commissioned' prisoners, often economic offenders, enjoy 'special and unique facilities'. The renewed case fabrication against Ahmadreza Haeri comes while this political prisoner was sentenced to more than three years in prison in spring 2023 on charges of 'gathering and colluding to commit a crime against national security' and 'propaganda against the regime' and is currently serving his sentence.
