Negahdari's has been transferred to an unknown location by the MOIS agents. His family has referred to security officials inquiring about their son with no avail.
It has become a common practice over the years by the MOIS to abduct student activists for questioning and not releasing any information about them. It is a psychological torture applied against the family to dissuade it from following the case.
The increase in suppression of students occurs after the widespread anti-regime protests in various Iranian universities last December, marking the occasion of “Student Day” on December 6, 2008. In the course of these protests, students transformed universities into scenes of protest against the suppressive policies of the ruling religious fascism in Iran. Some of the protesting universities included, Tehran University and the University of Science and Technology in Tehran, as well as universities in Shiraz, Sistan va Baluchestan, Hamedan, Isfahan, Tabriz, Babol, Babolsar, Orumieh, Qazvin, Arak, Birjand, Sanandaj, Ilam, and Bandar Abbas. The brave protesting students gave sensational speeches and chanted slogans such as, “Seyyed Ali [Khamenei] Pinochet, Iran can’t become Chile,” “Death to dictator,” and “We are fighters, men and women, Fight us and we will fight.” With these slogans, students aimed their rage and anger at the entire mullahs’ regime.
