Committee of Human Rights Reporters
On Thursday March 18, 2010, Amir Hossein Kazemi, a blogger and member of the youth division of the political organization Nehzat Azadi (Freedom Movement), met with his family in Evin prison.

The political activist informed his family in the meeting that he had been charged with “acting against national security.” Kazemi was taken into custody on March 6, 2010, after he was summoned to the Ministry of Intelligence.

Amir Hossein Kazemi, the author of the Bamardum blog, has been repeatedly threatened by security agents.

Currently Emad Bahavar (head of the youth division of Nehzat Azadi), Farid Taheri (executive member), and several other members of Nehzat Azadi are in detention.
