The Uncertain Condition of Nasoor Naghipoor in Prison

There is still no clear information about the situation of Nasoor Naghipoor, who was arrested during the March 2nd coordinated attacks on human rights activists.

According to HRANA, the latest news on Nasoor Naghipoor indicate that he has contacted his family once in the past ten days and has described his general health as well. Nasoor Naghipoor was transferred to Tehran after his arrest and is currently detained in Evin prison.

Nasoor Naghipoor was born on April 14, 1981, and is an electric engineering major. Over the past years, he has worked with local newspapers in Ghazvin on cultural issues and was writing for his personal weblog at the time of his arrest.

Nasoor Naghipoor also runs the website “Nasoor”, which seeks to increase useful content available on Farsi web. The site publishes pieces dealing with politics, philosophy, society, and literature.

The authorities have announced the charges against Nasoor Naghipoor as human rights activities and communication with foreign outlets. His family has been unable to obtain any further information.
