Prior to this he had been imprisoned in Wards 209 and 350 of the notorious Evin prison of Tehran for two years, he was arrested during a brutal raid by the agents of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) on his parents’ home and taken to Ward 209 of Evin on September 9, 2007, and is being subjected to physical and psychological tortures.
The alleged charges for which this young student was arrested include participation in the memorial services held for the victims of the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran in 1988, visiting his sister in Camp Ashraf – Iraq, and being in e-mail contact with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
His father, Mojtaba Yazdan-nejad, and his mother, Akram Sanjari, along with her young child were in jail for three years in unbearable conditions of mullahs’ prisons in the early eighties. His three uncles, Hassan, Hossein and Ibrahim Sanjari, all members of the PMOI, were executed by the regime’s henchmen in the eighties.
Meesagh is at the moment seriously ill and in need of medical attention due to the effects of torture and the appalling state of the prison.
The Iranian Resistance calls on all international human rights organizations to condemn blatant violations of human rights and in particular the arrests of the Iranian students and to adopt urgent measures to free all the detainees.
