Prisoners’ rights unit of HRA reports that Roozbeh and Ramin Tehrani were both arrested on June 9th 2009 for their activities during the 2008-2009 school year. Three weeks ago after being detained for a few months in Ward 209 of Evin, they were transferred to Ward 8 of the same prison. The brothers appeared in court today.
Ramin and Roozbeh appeared in District 26 of the Revolutionary Court, presided by Judge Pour-Abassi, for their first hearing. The indictment, read by the representative of the prosecutor accused the brothers of waging war against God and propaganda against the regime.
