Human Rights Activists in Iran
Security forces barred the father of Keivan Rafiei, the former Secretary General of the Human Rights Activists in Iran, from continuing his work in an attempt to increase the pressure on human rights activists.
His father worked in a university in the province of Golestan in Northern Iran. This illegal measure was carried out even while they have made no charges against him and he has no history of political or social activities. Keivan Rafiei's sister has also been detained since March 2, 2010 in cellblock 2A in Evin Prison because of her brother's activities despite the expiration of her detention order
