Transfer of Hossein Shandeh Zadeh from solitary confinement to a shared cell; still not allowed to join the general ward

Abbas Shandeh Zadeh, the brother of Hossein Shandeh Zadeh, a social media activist, translator, and editor, reported that his brother has been transferred from solitary confinement to a shared cell in prison and stated, "Hossein has not yet been allowed to enter the general ward." On Sunday, July 1st, he announced the news of his brother's phone call with their mother on his account on X, writing: "Since Hossein has not yet gone to the general ward, we believe he is still under investigation." Abbas Shandeh Zadeh also added: "Hossein informed that he is certain about having one phone call per week and also the possibility of a cabin visit within the next two weeks." Hossein Shandeh Zadeh was arrested in mid-June while traveling to Ardabil, and the judiciary of the Islamic Republic has accused him of what it calls "connections with high-ranking Mossad officers," "insulting sacred beliefs," and "attempting to leave the country." All these accusations have been strongly denied by his relatives. Before his arrest, Hossein Shandeh Zadeh reacted to a note without a period at the end on Ali Khamenei's account on X by leaving just a "dot," which users liked significantly more than the leader's writing. Abbas Shandeh Zadeh's account of his brother's "heartbreaking" phone call with their mother continues the uncertainty regarding Hossein Shandeh Zadeh's case, the imprisoned editor. Hossein Shandeh Zadeh is imprisoned in Tehran and does not have access to a lawyer. The accusations are only for a "dot"; the Islamic Republic's judiciary claims: Hossein Shandeh Zadeh had connections with Mossad. The family of Hossein Shandeh Zadeh is concerned about the attribution of "heavy accusations"; Hossein Ronaghi: This "dot" will remain a headline forever. Confirmation of the news of Hossein Shandeh Zadeh's arrest; this translator and editor's contact with his family: I will come in two or three days.
