$800,000 Bail for Abdollah Momeni’s Release


Kaleme – The judge in charge of Abdollah Momeni’s case has announced $800,000 bail for his release. Abdollah Momeni’s wife protests that the family cannot afford to pay the $800,000 bail.
According to the opposition news agency Kaleme, Momeni has lost his job as a teacher during his time in prison, while his family lives in a rental home with no source of income. According to his wife, an official responsible for Momeni’s case has indicated the possibility to lower the amount of bail.
Abdollah Momeni was the spokesperson for the Alumni Organization of Islamic Iran (Advar Tahkim Vahdat), and worked for Karroubi’s campaign during the June 2009 presidential election. He was arrested eight months ago and is currently detained in Evin prison.
