Rahman Ebramizadeh, and his son, Esa
must be released immediately and unconditionally!
Based on the news we have received from student activists, on 3 March 2010 the notorious Revolutionary Guards have arrested a labour activist Rahman Ebrahimzadeh and his son Esa and have taken them to Oshnaveyeh’s detention centre. A week later, they were transferred to Oromieye’s prison to appear in court. Rahman’s family, worried for their safety, health, and wellbeing, attempted to find out their whereabouts, and to demand their immediate release, but prison authorities have kept a tight lip. The house search was conducted without any prior notice, or any search warrant.
Around the same time, two more of Rhaman’s sons, Loghman and Behnam Ebrahimzadeh received threatening phone calls. Loghman was taken to Oshnaveyeh’s detention centre for questioning on 9 March 2010. Following an International 2009 May Day rally in Park Laleh in Tehran, Behnam who is a blogger, labour and children activist, and also a member of the Society in Defence of Children was arrested and briefly kept in Evin prison.
Around the same time few other labour activists: Hossein Betrooti, Fata Soleymani, Abbass Hashempour, Samad Ahmadpour, and Rahman Tanha were also arrested and transferred to Oshnaveyeh’s detention centre. Also, Children’s activists: Shiva Nazar Ahari, Saeed Jalalifar, and Maryam Ziya are still in prison and there are no news about their health and wellbeing.
Campaign to Free Political Prisoners in Iran calls all human rights organisations and individuals to support our call, and demand immediate and unconditional release of Rahaman Ebrahimizadeh, his son Esa, and all other labour and children activists.
