VOA Persian is known for its critical stance towards the Iranian government.

Yashar Tabrizi, a constitutional activist currently imprisoned in Evin Prison, announced in a letter that he has been deprived of the right to contact his family by judicial authorities for the past week. In the message published by an admin on the 'X' account of this imprisoned activist, dated 'Aban 1402, Evin Prison', he stated that he does not use his voice 'for personal interests' for himself or his family and that 'this voice has been and continues to be the cry of the pain and suffering of the people', who have only demanded 'fundamental human and citizen rights' and 'the right to choose'. Yashar Tabrizi emphasized the demand for 'democracy, freedom, peace, and equality for all Iranians' and 'protest against oppression and injustice', adding: 'This ruling group even fears our voice so that it does not reach the ears of the people.' This constitutional activist stated that the Islamic Republic has imprisoned him in Ward 4 of Evin Prison 'to deceive and conceal its corruption and inefficiency' and that 'based on the interrogation report of the Ministry of Intelligence' and 'by the order of another branch', all of his contacts 'even with family', which is a 'human and legal right', have been cut off. While more than 40 days have passed since Yashar Tabrizi's arrest, he has protested against the continuation of his temporary detention and emphasized: 'We have no support or media other than the aware and free people and grassroots media.' Additionally, a collection of human rights activists in Iran reported on Thursday, November 2, that Yashar Tabrizi is still 'indefinitely' in Evin Prison and that his contact ban began on November 4. Yashar Tabrizi was arrested on September 14, just before the anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death in Tabriz and was transferred to Evin Prison in Tehran. The Islamic Revolutionary Court of Shahriar in Tehran province had sentenced this civil activist, who has a prior history of imprisonment, to 'one year of imprisonment' just a few days before his latest arrest.
