Committee of Human Rights Reporters

Hossein Vahed charged with participating in the events of Ashura (December 27, 2009) was sentenced to two years of prison.
This prisoner, who is a master's degree student of management at Kashan University is in Evin Prison's cellblock 350 and has not been able to obtain a furlough from prison. His two year prison sentence was recently issued because he participated in the 'Ashura seditions'.
On Ashura and the days after that, a large number of citizens were arrested on bogus charges such as participating in the seditions and jailed and have received prison terms. Many of these people are in cellblock 350 in Evin Prison.
