Bahareh Hedayat, indited by Dolatabadi

Tehran prosecutor Jafar Dolatabadi has personally indicted Bahareh Hedayat during an interrogation session at Tehran’s Evin prison.

Hedayat has been told by Dolatabadi that her 16-count indictment includes heavy charges such as propagating against the regime, actively taking part in post-election events, talking to foreign media organizations, insulting the Supreme Leader, insulting the president (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad), and conspiring to act against national security.

According to a RAHANA reporter, Hedayat has denied all the charges and is resisting the pressure to make a false televised confession. The degree of resistance shown by the rights activist has infuriated her interrogators, who continue to put pressure on her through intense interrogation sessions.

Hedayat’s family was able to visit her for a few minutes today in an Evin visitation cabin. Hedayat was arrested on December 31, 2009. She is currently being held in ward 209 of Evin Prison.
