Officials shun family of innocent political death row prisoner

The family of death row political prisoner Ahmad Karimi went to the presidential office and Judiciary to inquire about their son but was denied a clear answer.
This political prisoner was sentenced to death on charges of participating in the post-election protests. The relevant officials did not accept to meet with his family and refrained from taking a letter which proved Karimi's innocence.
Ahmad Karimi, born in 1979, is a carpenter from Islamshahr who was forced to confess to being a 'seditionist' in court despite the fact that he was arrested 40 days before the elections. He was sentenced to death based on his (confessions). (Human Rights Activists in Iran – Feb. 6, 2010)
