Free Mohammad Ali Taheri
A group of supporters and family
members of political prisoner Mohammad Ali Taheri rallied outside his home in
Tehran on Sunday, February 7th, holding a protest rally and carrying
flowers, pictures and tracts.
It is worth noting that the mullahs’
regime is not permitting these family members to hold any protest rally outside
Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison, while they are only seeking to visit their
loved ones behind bars. As a result, a large number of Taheri supporters had no
choice but to gather outside his home as the site of their protest rally
against the Iranian regime.
After his five year prison term came to
an end, Taheri is currently in his 8th day of hunger strike in
prison, and reports indicate he intends to continue his unlimited hunger strike
until his unconditional release from Evin Prison.
Taheri began this hunger strike on
January 21st after his unjustified sentencing of five years behind
bars came to an end.
Eyewitness reports indicate security
agents even prevented Taheri’s wife from exiting her own home, and did not
permit her to have any contact with the protesters.
The protesters reached 350 in numbers and
as a symbolic gesture placed flowers outside this political prisoner’s home.
On November 21st a number of
family members of martyrs, missing individuals, political prisoners and Taheri
supporters rallied outside Evin Prison only to be attacked bu Ministry of
Intelligence (MOIS/VEVAK) agents. More than 30 of the protesters were arrested
and transferred to Evin Prison.
